Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for any future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with regard to the provision of internal space
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous roof design and dormers, combined with inadequate internal living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefit of delivering one additional housing unit in a borough below its housing delivery target.
The significant adverse impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and the inadequate living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of making use of underutilised land and delivering an additional housing unit in a borough falling below its housing delivery target.
