Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regards to privacy and light
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for existing and future occupiers, with particular regards to the provision of private garden space
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regards to whether the proposal provides a suitable access
- Whether the proposal would achieve an appropriate biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan through multiple harms to character and appearance, neighbour privacy, future occupier amenity, and highway safety, which are not outweighed by the unsubstantiated self-build benefits.
