Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the scale, massing and layout of the proposed dwellings, which would harmfully erode the spacious quality of the street scene, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing benefits even in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the requirement for high quality design sympathetic to local character.
