Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook, light and external amenity space

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area caused by the cramped siting of the dwelling, combined with unacceptably poor living conditions for future occupiers particularly regarding outlook and light, outweighed the benefits of adding to housing supply and making efficient use of underused land.
