Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 11 Bankside Close

What decided it

The cumulative harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, which significantly outweighed the minor benefits of delivering a single dwelling in a sustainable location.

The support within the Framework and development plan for additional housing and development within sustainable locations was outweighed by the significant cumulative harm to local character and neighbouring amenity.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy D2, Policy PNP4, Policy PNP6A
