Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory carbon emissions and water efficiency measures
- Whether the proposal would have adequate car parking provision and the effect on highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The harmful effect on character and appearance of the area, combined with failure to demonstrate satisfactory carbon emissions and water efficiency measures, outweighed the modest housing benefit and meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan taken as a whole.
The modest benefit of providing one dwelling was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified harm to character and appearance and failure to meet carbon emissions and water efficiency requirements, even under the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
