Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions for occupants of adjacent dwellings and future occupants of the development
- Whether the development would provide an appropriate response to climate change
- Whether the development would be appropriately serviced in relation to cycle and waste storage
What decided it
The significant harms to character and appearance, living conditions, and lack of clarity on climate change mitigation and waste provision would not be outweighed by the limited housing benefit from a single additional dwelling in a context of housing land supply deficit.
The benefits of one additional dwelling in a context of housing land supply deficit would not outweigh the significant harms to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours and future occupants, and lack of adequate climate change and waste mitigation measures.
