Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the harm to character and appearance, when assessed against the policies in the development plan taken as a whole, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of additional housing supply and associated social and economic benefits.
The long-lasting harm to character and appearance worthy of significant weight, in conflict with Paragraph 130 of the Framework, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the small contribution towards housing supply and limited social and economic benefits.
