Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and overlooking
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to private amenity space
  • whether sufficient information has been provided to demonstrate compliance with biodiversity net gain requirements
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The unacceptable overlooking and loss of privacy for neighbouring occupiers and the failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, combined with insufficient biodiversity net gain information, outweighed the benefits of providing an additional dwelling.

Substantial weight was given to the benefits of providing an additional dwelling and effective use of land, but greater weight was attached to the identified conflict with the development plan regarding privacy, external amenity space, and biodiversity net gain, resulting in dismissal.
