Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the appeal property and surrounding area, caused by the proposal's position beyond the established building line and disruption of the area's distinctive layout and spacing, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate housing benefit.
The moderate benefit of providing a single 2-bed dwelling was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance; the planning balance was not in favour of the appeal scheme
