Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbours in terms of noise and disturbance
- the living conditions of current and future occupiers in terms of outlook, internal living space and private external space
What decided it
The substantial and enduring harms to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and occupier living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the very limited housing benefits of a single unit, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and occupier living conditions, ascribed substantial weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the very limited benefits of providing one housing unit in a sustainable location, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
