Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to the amount and quality of indoor and outdoor space and outlook
- Whether the loss of parking to the host dwelling would be harmful to highway safety
What decided it
The oppressive and poor-quality outlook from the main habitable space, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of one additional dwelling.
The harm to living conditions of future occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing supply and economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
