What decided it

The moderate benefits of creating one new home were outweighed by the considerable harm to character and appearance and the moderate harm to neighbouring living conditions, resulting in dismissal of the appeal despite the presumption in favour of sustainable development arising from the five-year housing land supply shortfall.
