Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal in meeting local housing need
- the effect of the proposal on the character of the area and the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the living accommodation on the living conditions of future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to internal and private external space
- whether the proposal would make adequate provision for parking
What decided it
The cumulative weight of harms relating to loss of self-contained housing stock, adverse effects on neighbouring amenity and area character through noise and disturbance, inadequate internal living conditions for future occupiers due to the unauthorised rear extension, and failure to provide adequate parking in a poorly accessible location outweighed any compliance with other aspects of the development plan.
