Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not living conditions for future occupiers of the development would be acceptable in respect of the provision of internal space and storage
What decided it
The significant and unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous design, prominent positioning and erosion of spaciousness outweighed the modest benefit of providing one additional dwelling in an area with a shortfall in housing land supply.
The modest benefit of providing a new dwelling in an area with only 2.8 years housing land supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance of the area.
