Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties and the future occupiers of the proposed development with particular regard to privacy and noise and disturbance
- trees covered by a tree preservation order
- highway safety
- whether the development would affect the setting of the grade II listed All Saints Church
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, resulting from the development appearing as an incursion into the countryside and back-land development out of keeping with the established character, outweighed the minimal housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling.
The significant harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the minimal benefits of housing supply and limited economic and social benefits from a single dwelling, tipping decisively against the proposal.
