Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space and layout
- Whether the development would include adequate provision for cycle storage
- Whether the development would include adequate provision for the storage and collection of refuse and recycling
- Whether the development would incorporate adequate measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change, with particular regard to minimising energy-related CO2 emissions
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance, living conditions, and climate change mitigation outweighed the limited benefits of providing one dwelling when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The harm arising from the development—significant harm to character and appearance, failure to provide adequate living conditions, and inadequate climate change mitigation—significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited social and economic benefits of providing one dwelling, when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, despite the tilted balance applying due to housing delivery shortfall.
