Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to outlook and privacy
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its future occupants, with regard to private amenity space provision

What decided it

The substantial and long-lasting harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions and future occupant amenity significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefit of a single net additional dwelling when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising substantial harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours and future occupant amenity, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefit of providing a single net additional dwelling, even in the context of a shortfall in 5-year housing land supply.
