Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Sundance and Sarrank, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and to neighbouring living conditions outweighed the modest housing supply benefit in circumstances where the Council could not demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.

The modest benefit of one dwelling to housing supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions
