Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area, which the Inspector found would not be outweighed by the housing and economic benefits even under the tilted balance.
The modest social and economic benefits of providing two 2-bedroom units and a financial contribution to affordable housing were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance
