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 substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the cramped siting and visual prominence of the dwelling in the street scene, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited housing benefits of a single dwelling.
The adverse impacts on character and appearance, to which substantial weight was attached, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of additional housing supply, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
