Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 16 Rustic Road, with particular regard to external amenity space
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of the occupiers of No 16 through insufficient external amenity space significantly and demonstrably outweighs the minor housing benefit, applying the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
The adverse impacts to character and appearance and living conditions of occupiers of No 16 would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing a single additional dwelling on brownfield land in a sustainable location, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
