Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the prevailing pattern of large, loosely spaced detached dwellings on substantial plots within the South Farnham Arcadian Areas by introducing two smaller dwellings on subdivided plots, and this harm is not outweighed by the limited housing and socio-economic benefits.
The limited benefits of one additional dwelling and efficient land use do not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area and the prevailing pattern of development within the South Farnham Arcadian Areas.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy TD1 of the Local Plan Part 1 2018Policy FNP1 of the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan 2020Policy FNP8 of the Farnham Neighbourhood Plan 2020Policy D1 of the Local Plan 2002Policy D4 of the Local Plan 2002
