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 significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the narrowness of the newly created plot and the constrained appearance of the dwelling, which would outweigh the modest housing benefit even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of the development in terms of harm to the character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
