Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupants in respect of their outlook and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposal's incongruous single-storey form and poor-quality outdoor amenity space would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefit, even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts on character and appearance and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social, environmental and economic benefits, including the modest housing supply contribution, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 124Paragraph 127Paragraph 213
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
