Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether or not there is sufficient information to demonstrate the site can be adequately drained

What decided it

The adverse impacts of granting permission, arising from inappropriately designed development that would harm the character and appearance of the area, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of two small flats when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The modest contribution to housing supply and economic benefits were outweighed by lasting harm to character and appearance arising from inappropriately designed development contrary to the development plan and Framework promotion of well-designed places.
