Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of Churchfield Road
What decided it
The proposal's backland location, cramped positioning, single-storey scale and plain design would harm the character and appearance of Churchfield Road, contrary to Policy HC1, and this harm outweighs the benefits of efficient land use and housing supply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HC1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
