Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area caused by the dwelling's squat, flat-roofed, boxy design significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery and brownfield reuse for a single dwelling where planning permission already exists for an alternative scheme.
The benefits of housing delivery, brownfield reuse, and sustainability measures were outweighed by the significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area
