What decided it
The detached nature of the proposed dwellings and their cramped siting in a highly prominent location would have a demonstrably harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, which is a matter of fundamental concern.
The modest benefits of housing supply and economic benefits attracted only limited weight and did not outweigh the demonstrable harm to character and appearance of the surrounding area.
