Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the backland siting and incongruous contemporary design outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single additional dwelling in the context of housing undersupply.

The adverse impacts of granting permission, particularly harm to character and appearance, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing an additional dwelling to address housing undersupply.
