Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene and surrounding area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the street scene and surrounding area, which would result from the infilling of the gap and erosion of the spacious, verdant character of Grovelands, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing and self-build benefits even under the tilted balance.
The very limited housing benefit and moderate self-build benefit are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance
