Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of potential future residents
- the living conditions of neighbouring residents at no. 355A, with respect to outlook
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposed development on character and appearance and on the living conditions of future residents significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of delivering a single additional dwelling in a location where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The moderate weight given to socio-economic benefits of delivering an additional dwelling in a sustainable location was outweighed by the significant weight attached to the importance of design as a key aspect of sustainable development and the Framework's expectation of a high standard of amenity for future users, resulting in the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits.
