Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the dwelling's departure from the established building line and its prominent, incongruous appearance in the street scene outweighed the limited housing benefits of a single dwelling in the context of the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, with regard to the harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of providing an additional dwelling to address housing land supply shortfall
