Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to internal living space

What decided it

The undue harm to character and appearance combined with significantly poor quality internal living space in the proposed smaller unit outweighed the limited benefits of additional housing supply.
