Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The adverse impacts on character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against Framework policies as a whole.
The significant harms to character and appearance and living conditions outweighed the moderate benefit of delivering one additional dwelling in the context of a 2.45-year housing land supply shortfall.
