Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The considerable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area from a development that would be incongruous with the established pattern and density of development on the road significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply contribution.
The significant benefit of contributing one dwelling to housing supply in an area with acknowledged shortage, alongside modest economic benefits and provision of a one-bedroom dwelling, was substantially outweighed by the considerable harm to character and appearance of the area that would endure for the lifetime of the development
