Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the cramped layout, lack of side space relief, and bulky roof form would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity from a modest single dwelling.
The benefits of housing delivery, employment creation and support for local services were given limited weight due to the modest scale of the proposal, and were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance of the area
