Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the proposed development provides adequate living conditions for future occupiers in relation to private amenity space

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, when weighed against the limited benefits of a single dwelling, meant the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.

The adverse impact of granting planning permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single dwelling when considered against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy QD02, Policy QD03
