Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide its occupants with acceptable living conditions, with regard to outdoor private amenity space
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous design and poor amenity space provision significantly and demonstrably outweighs the minor benefits of one additional dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The significant harm to character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable amenity space significantly and demonstrably outweighed the minor benefits of housing delivery and support to the local economy, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
