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 tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d), with the significant benefits of housing delivery (including affordable housing of appropriate mix and size) outweighing the moderate localised harm to character and appearance.
The moderate localised harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the significant benefits of providing six additional dwellings including two affordable units meeting identified housing need, redevelopment of previously developed land in a sustainable location, and local economic benefits, when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole under the tilted balance.
