Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of The Pippins, with particular regard to outlook and light
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species
- the effect of the proposed parking arrangements on highway safety in Love Lane
- whether the proposed development would be acceptable with regards to energy efficiency
What decided it
The cumulative material harm to character and appearance, living conditions, highway safety, protected species certainty, and energy efficiency, when assessed against the Framework as a whole, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single new dwelling.
The benefits of providing one new home and supporting local facilities were afforded limited weight and were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the very significant and enduring harm to character and appearance, living conditions, parking and highway safety, protected species, and energy efficiency.
