Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to the provision of private amenity space

What decided it

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and inadequate private amenity space would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of providing a new dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.

The moderate weight afforded to the provision of a new dwelling and associated benefits was significantly outweighed by the significant weight given to the harm to character and appearance and living conditions, resulting in the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits.
