Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers having particular regard to outlook and private amenity space
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of No 145 Dagnam Park Drive with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area through the loss of openness at a corner location and the failure to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, which significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of one dwelling when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts in respect of character and appearance and living conditions for future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest economic and social benefits of a single dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
