What decided it

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and (in Appeal B) living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing one dwelling in an area with housing shortfall, such that the proposals would not represent sustainable development.
