Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the site represents a suitable location for the proposed dwelling, having regard to access to services and facilities
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance arising from discordant infilling, combined with the unsustainable location with poor access to services and facilities, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
The modest social and economic benefits of one dwelling and limited support to local services were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by unacceptable harm to character and appearance and adverse environmental and social effects arising from unsustainable location and poor accessibility to services and facilities.
