Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed new dwelling, with particular regard to private amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance through bland design and excessive hard landscaping, combined with inadequate private amenity space for future occupiers, means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, having particular regard to key policies for directing development to sustainable locations, making effective use of land, securing well-designed places and providing affordable homes.
Framework references: 11, 86, 129, 135, 139
