Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for its occupiers with regard to private amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 10a Broomwood Way and those of neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook, light and amenity space
What decided it
The adverse impacts of granting permission—harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring and future occupiers—significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of providing a single dwelling, such that the proposal does not constitute sustainable development and the presumption in favour does not apply.
