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 substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the introduction of a large, bulky dwelling within the rear garden that would fundamentally erode the existing open aspect and sense of spaciousness, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of a single dwelling.
The adverse impacts of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
