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 nearby residential properties, with particular regard to privacy, light pollution, and the potential for noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring properties, particularly noise and disturbance, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of delivering a single new dwelling in a context of housing shortfall.
The significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions (particularly noise and disturbance) significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of delivering one energy-efficient, accessible family dwelling in the context of a 2.5-year housing supply shortfall.
