What decided it
The scale, position and surfacing of the proposed house would result in an overly dominant development entirely at odds with the rural character of the area, conflicting with up-to-date neighbourhood plan policies, and the environmental harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the housing supply benefits.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were outweighed by the significant environmental harm to character and appearance and conflict with up-to-date neighbourhood plan policies.
