Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
Whether the proposal makes adequate provision towards open space and the mitigation of likely significant effects on protected European sites

What decided it

The unacceptably harmful effect on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area, arising from the incongruous positioning, layout and scale of the proposed dwellings relative to the established pattern of development, which conflict with the development plan and Framework requirements for good design respecting local character.

The benefits of eight additional homes, including self-build housing and accessibility to local services, did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan and Framework objectives for good design.
