- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial weight ascribed to the long-lasting harm to character and appearance, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits even under the tilted balance test.
The modest benefits of housing supply and short-term employment were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance, which was long-lasting and contrary to the Framework's aim that developments be sympathetic to local character.
