Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is an appropriate and sustainable location for the proposed development, having regard to relevant local and national policy, and to its effect on the character of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for occupiers of the existing dwelling on the site, with particular regard to daylight, separation distances and privacy, and whether it would be harmfully overbearing
- Whether the development would make appropriate provision in respect of biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The significant adverse effect on living conditions in the existing bungalow, combined with the unsustainable location and failure to secure biodiversity net gain, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest benefits of two new dwellings and limited economic benefits were substantially outweighed by significant harm to living conditions in the existing dwelling, the unsustainable location with poor access to services, and failure to provide biodiversity net gain, resulting in the proposal not amounting to sustainable development.
