Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by introducing a detached dwelling into a characteristic gap between pairs of semi-detached houses, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, being significant and long-lasting harm to character and appearance, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of one dwelling's contribution to housing supply when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
Framework references: 11, 130
Plan policies cited: Policy SD4 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy (2017), Policy RES5 of the Pre-Submission Tewkesbury Borough Plan (2019)
