Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed dwelling would result in satisfactory living conditions for adjoining occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the excessive scale and prominent siting of the dwelling and the visually discordant parking provision, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefit of one additional residential unit in a location with a shortfall in housing land supply.

the adverse impact on character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefit of one additional residential unit and temporary economic benefits during construction, such that the tilted balance did not favour the proposal
