Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- whether the proposed development would secure an appropriate standard of amenity space for existing occupiers
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable overbearing impact on neighbouring occupiers' living conditions and significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the siting and scale of the dwelling and loss of hedgerow, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply.
The moderate benefits of housing supply, self-build and construction employment were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to neighbouring living conditions and character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
