What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbours at No.56 The Shrublands significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefit of a single dwelling when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
The limited benefit of delivering a single dwelling was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbours, applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
