Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its siting, scale and design
- Whether future occupiers of the proposed development would have satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to the proposed floor to ceiling height and outdoor space
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area arising from the proposal's forward siting, single-storey scale, flat roof design, and cramped appearance, which would conflict with the development plan and Framework design policies, outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery.
The limited benefits of providing one additional small dwelling unit in a sustainable location and making efficient use of land were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area and conflict with Framework policies requiring high-quality, well-designed development sympathetic to local character.
