What decided it
The adverse impacts of harm to character, appearance, openness and unresolved ecological harm significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing supply benefit when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole.
The modest housing supply benefit of 3 units and limited social and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of harm to character, appearance and openness of the local area and unresolved harm to protected species and biodiversity.
