Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including landscape character

What decided it

The proposed development would cause substantial and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area and landscape character, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of providing one dwelling and economic contributions.

The substantial harm to character and appearance and landscape character, ascribed substantial weight as long-lasting, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited weight given to modest economic and social benefits and the small contribution to housing supply, such that even if the tilted balance applied the proposal would fail.
