Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to technical space standards and private outdoor amenity space
- highway safety, with particular regard to the level of parking provision and the proposed crossover
What decided it

The benefits of providing one additional home and economic benefits of construction and local expenditure were ascribed moderate weight, but the adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety would significantly and demonstrably outweigh these benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
