Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of occupiers of the host dwelling and neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The adverse impacts of the development on character and appearance and on the living conditions of occupiers through loss of privacy significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of housing supply, even under the tilted balance.

The moderate benefits of providing two small dwellings to address the Council's 5-year housing land supply deficit were outweighed by the notable permanent harm to character and appearance and to living conditions through loss of privacy.
