Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular reference to outlook, both internal and external amenity space, and privacy
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance and the significantly substandard living conditions for future occupiers, including inadequate floor area, ceiling height, outlook and amenity space, substantially and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of a single additional dwelling.
