Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area; including the effect on the setting of the adjacent Conservation Area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the adjacent Conservation Area, caused by the design, scale, roof form and loss of mature trees and planting, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery, efficient land use and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and heritage setting, applying the tilted balance under the Framework due to the Council's lack of five-year housing land supply.
