Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area by introducing a cramped and incongruous terraced form that conflicts with the spacious, verdant character and prevailing pattern of large detached dwellings in this section of The Orchard.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the harm caused to the character and appearance of the surrounding area
