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 suitable living conditions for future residents in respect of access to private external amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- The effect of the proposal on the integrity of European designated sites
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide suitable living conditions for future residents, which significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited socio-economic benefits of a single self-build dwelling in a location with housing land supply shortfall.
The socio-economic benefits of delivering a self-build dwelling in a sustainable location with acute housing supply shortfall (moderate weight) were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide suitable amenity space for future residents, and the Framework's emphasis on design quality and high amenity standards (significant weight).
