Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposed development would provide suitable flood risk management and surface water drainage

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing incongruous, cramped and visually intrusive built form that fails to integrate with the surrounding area.

The small contribution to housing supply in an area with a demonstrable five-year housing land supply did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to character and appearance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SD4 of the JCSPolicy SD10 of the JCSPolicy RES5 of the LPPolicy INF2 of the JCSPolicy ENV2 of the LP
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 130
