Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers was not outweighed by the limited contribution to housing supply and social and economic benefits, even applying the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework when taken as a whole, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
Framework references: 11
