Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the adjacent The Thrifts Conservation Area
- Living conditions for occupiers of the proposed dwelling and neighbouring residents, with particular regard to loss or lack of privacy and outlook
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Area of Special Residential Character and the setting of The Thrifts Conservation Area provides a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d)(i) of the Framework, displacing the tilted balance despite the Council's housing land supply shortfall.
The modest housing and economic benefits of providing one new dwelling would not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the conservation area, to which great weight must be attributed
