Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed bungalow's wholly different form, suburban character and design would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, which substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits.
The limited benefits of one additional dwelling, modest economic benefits, use of brownfield land and accessibility improvements were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan
