- highway safety
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area through suburbanisation of the rural edge significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits from a single dwelling were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the serious harm to character and appearance and failure to meet the environmental dimension of the Framework, such that the tilted balance did not indicate permission should be granted.
