Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance, privacy, outlook and daylight
- whether the proposal would achieve the statutory biodiversity net gain
- whether the proposal would make sufficient provision for off-street car parking
What decided it
The substantial cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and failure to demonstrate statutory biodiversity net gain significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of delivering a single dwelling.
the adverse impacts comprising significant harm to character and appearance, tangible harm to neighbouring living conditions, and failure to meet statutory biodiversity net gain requirements significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic activity, such that the proposal did not represent sustainable development
