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 cramped spatial relationship between the existing and proposed dwelling, combined with harmful parking arrangements and the likelihood of pressure for removal of a protected tree, would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits.
The limited housing supply benefits and social and economic benefits of the proposal were outweighed by the significant and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area, which conflicted with the development plan taken as a whole
