Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and area
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook, daylight, noise and standard of accommodation
- Whether the development would provide adequate and accessible cycle and refuse storage
- The effect of the development on the surrounding transport network
What decided it
The development would cause harmful effects on character and appearance, provide unacceptable living conditions for future occupants, and fail to provide adequate cycle and refuse storage, with the limited benefit of one additional dwelling insufficient to outweigh these harms.
The limited benefit of one new home would not outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance, living conditions, and storage adequacy.
