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 proposed dwelling would significantly erode the spacious character and disrupt the attractive symmetry of the corner plot entrance to Sedgemoor Drive, a distinctive characteristic of the street scene, and this harm to character and appearance could not be outweighed by the modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest benefits of housing delivery and economic activity were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the area and conflict with the development plan
