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 proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, and in the absence of a five-year housing land supply, the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.

The limited housing contribution and socio-economic benefits of a single dwelling were outweighed by the absence of unacceptable harm to character and appearance and the sustainable location within the settlement boundary, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
