Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety along Main Street

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's scale, mass, height and unduly complex design would be out of place and overly obtrusive in a setting dominated by simple forms and modest bungalows, causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance that outweighs housing supply benefits.
