Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect on living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight, and privacy
  • the effect on highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision and footway access
  • whether the proposal can achieve an acceptable amount of carbon emission reduction

What decided it

The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance caused by the siting and bulk of the proposed dwelling, combined with unacceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions through loss of daylight and sunlight, outweighed the benefits of providing a new dwelling in a sustainable location.
