Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers at No.2b Hartland Road
- the effect on the streetscene
- the quality of the living environment of occupiers of the proposed dwelling
What decided it
The detrimental effect on the streetscene and the poor quality of living environment for future occupants, particularly the uninviting outlook from the main living area, were not outweighed by the modest contribution to housing supply.
The modest contribution of the proposed dwelling to housing supply was not sufficient to overcome the adverse effects on the streetscene and the failure to provide adequate quality of living environment for future occupants.
