Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether it would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers having regard to privacy
- its effect on living conditions and privacy at nearby residences
What decided it
The fundamental incompatibility of the proposed single-storey detached dwelling with the established 2-storey terraced character of the street, combined with inadequate privacy for future occupiers, outweighed housing delivery benefits under the tilted balance.
the detriment caused by the proposal in terms of character harm and inadequate living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed its benefits in housing delivery and effective use of previously developed land
