Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would appear as an uncharacteristic and dominant feature within the streetscene, resulting in overall harm to the character and appearance of the area which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of delivering 2 housing units.
The modest housing benefit of 2 units was outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
