Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed new house on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the new house would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for future occupants in terms of the provision of private amenity space
- the effects of the proposed new house on the Thames Estuary and Marshes Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar Site
What decided it
The substantial and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the siting, scale and prominence of the proposed new house significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery in a location with an undersupply of homes.
The substantial harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate weight of housing delivery benefits, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.
