Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to Important View 1, Vista 11 and public footpath S70/1

What decided it

The permanent, significant adverse harm to the character and appearance of the area, particularly to Important View 1 and Vista 11, outweighed the housing and other benefits even under the tilted balance.

The identified adverse impacts on character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the scheme, including market and affordable housing provision, so the proposal did not meet the Framework's presumption in favour of sustainable development.
