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 proposed dwellings would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area through their greater height, footprint, massing and less sensitive design compared to the approved fallback scheme, which outweighs any benefits advanced.

The significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan outweighed the limited weight attributable to the fallback position and the neutral or limited weight of the benefits advanced, resulting in dismissal.
