Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- location of the development
- accessibility to services and facilities for future occupants
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 1 Rookery Cottages, with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with the creation of a car-dependent dwelling in an unsustainable location outweighs the modest benefit of one self-build dwelling.
The adverse effects of granting planning permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and car-dependency, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the important but small benefits of housing supply and economic gain, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
