Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its prominent, intrusive and incongruous appearance at the corner junction, which would not be outweighed by the small contribution to housing supply.
The significant harm to character and appearance, given substantial weight, outweighed the small contribution to housing land supply and limited environmental benefits from renewable energy, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
