Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The loss of openness and cramped building-to-plot ratio resulting from the siting of a three-storey dwelling on the side garden would cause inappropriate harm to the character and appearance of the area that cannot be outweighed by the limited housing benefit.
the adverse impacts on character and appearance identified under the main issue would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering a very limited quantum of additional housing, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development would not be engaged in favour of the proposal
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Core Policy 57 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy 2015
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
