Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to internal space and disturbance
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The harm to living conditions of future occupants and harm to character and appearance, which conflict with the Framework's policies on securing well-designed places, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefit of an additional 1-bed dwelling.
The benefit of an additional 1-bed dwelling weighs in favour to a limited degree, but the harm to living conditions of future occupants and harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole.
