Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on biodiversity, in particular the provision of biodiversity net gain
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupants having particular regard to internal floor-to-ceiling heights, outlook and light
- whether the proposed development would provide an adaptable dwelling and would be air quality neutral
What decided it
The proposed development would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area by reason of its discordant design and appearance, and there is insufficient detail to secure biodiversity net gain, both of which conflict with the development plan.
