Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions on both the occupiers of adjacent properties and on the occupiers of the proposed house
What decided it
The proposal's cramped, contrived design and harmful effects on the character of the area and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers outweigh the material consideration of the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The significant and permanent adverse effects on character and appearance and living conditions were not outweighed by the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, and the conflict with the development plan indicates the appeal should be dismissed
