Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its contrived design and prominent siting, which outweighs the modest housing benefits in the planning balance.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, particularly the harm to character and appearance, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest socio-economic benefits of providing one additional dwelling, even applying the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
