Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for its future occupants, with particular regard to outlook and internal layout
What decided it
The substantial and enduring harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply contribution, even in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The contribution to housing supply and modest economic benefits were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
