What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the location of rear dwellings and access road within an established suburban street with distinctive verdant character, outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.

The modest benefits of housing delivery and limited economic contribution were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
