What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the atypical, cramped and discordant design of both proposals significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of delivering a single additional dwelling, even when the presumption in favour of sustainable development is engaged.
The significant harm to character and appearance and policy conflicts with Policies QP1 and QP3 significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of delivering a single additional dwelling in an accessible urban location, notwithstanding the engagement of the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
