Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause material harm to the character and appearance of the area by intruding into the open space that characterises the nearby surrounding area at a visually prominent corner location, contrary to the development plan and Framework.
The limited economic and social benefits of a single additional dwelling and contribution to housing supply were afforded only limited weight and did not outweigh the identified conflict with the development plan, as the Council can demonstrate a 5-year housing supply and the tilted balance is not engaged.
