Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would protect or enhance biodiversity
- whether suitable provision could be made for refuse and recycling and storage of cycles
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the scale and massing of the proposed dwellings, which would introduce a non-typical housing typology in a prominent position on the main road frontage, outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
