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 be located behind existing dwellings contrary to the strong linear pattern of development in Gedney Hill, causing harm to the character and appearance of the area that significantly outweighed the limited benefits of two dwellings.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance significantly outweighed the benefits of two dwellings, taking account of the Council's housing land supply position in excess of 9 years
