Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The cantilevered design necessitated by the foul infrastructure constraint would be unprecedented and starkly incongruous in the context of the consistent character of the residential estate, causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance.
The small economic and social benefit of providing one additional dwelling to the housing stock was limited and did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1Good Design for North West Leicestershire Supplementary Planning Document
