Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The additional height, bulk and mass of the proposed buildings in combination with their forward position on the site would cause harm to character and appearance that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefit.
The adverse impact of the proposed development upon the street scene significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefit of three additional dwellings, notwithstanding the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply
