- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial material consideration of delivering an additional home in an accessible location to boost housing supply, combined with the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the 2021 Framework due to the Council's failure to meet the Housing Delivery Test, outweighed the conflict with local plan policies on character and appearance.
The conflict with Policies PP27 and PP28 of the Local Plan was outweighed by the substantial material consideration of housing delivery and economic benefits in the context of the tilted balance under the 2021 Framework
