Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the supply of family dwellings to meet local need
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant weight attributed to the harm to character and appearance arising from the quantum of development in an established and mature residential area outweighed the modest weight given to the provision of additional family housing.
The modest benefits of providing additional family housing in a sustainable location were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the established and mature residential area, with the conflict with the development plan and absence of other material considerations to justify the harm resulting in dismissal.
