Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The scale, siting and design of the proposed dwelling would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of this edge-of-village location that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits of a single unit, particularly where similar benefits could be achieved through the extant outline permission.
The significant weight given to the conflict with development plan policies on character and appearance, when assessed against the Framework as a whole, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and economic support from one additional dwelling, such that the tilted balance did not indicate permission should be granted.
Framework references: 11, 60, 79, 124, 127, 126, 130, 219
