Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing a denser, staggered arrangement of dwellings with smaller plots that would fail to assimilate with the spatial pattern of development in this part of the street, and this harm outweighed the modest housing benefits.
The modest social and economic benefits of four additional dwellings were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and failure to fulfil the environmental objective of sustainability.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DS1H5H8CS5CS7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
