Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwelling would be appropriate with regard to the accessibility of the site to services and facilities
- its effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with the development plan as a whole, particularly the poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable modes of transport and the significantly adverse effect on character and appearance, outweighed the modest benefits of an additional dwelling in a context of adequate housing land supply.
The modest social, economic and environmental benefits of the proposal were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable transport modes, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole.
