Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- Whether the site is a suitable location for new housing, having regard to the development strategy
What decided it
The proposal would be poorly related to its context and adversely impact the character and appearance of the area, causing harm that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The limited benefits of housing supply, economic benefit, and environmental improvements were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and conflict with the NPPF, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d)
