Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Marlings Park Estate Area of Special Residential Character
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of the host property and neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to outlook
- whether other material considerations outweigh any harm identified such as to justify the development
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable conflict with development plan policies protecting the character and amenity of the area, combined with the limited benefits of a single dwelling, outweighs the housing land supply shortfall such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of one additional dwelling and housing mix, even accounting for the Council's housing land supply shortfall and the Framework's objectives to boost housing supply and mitigate climate change.
