The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The identified adverse impacts in respect of the loss of open space and effect on character and appearance, which are matters of a high order, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply and delivery, even when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The significant weight attached to the contribution to housing supply and delivery shortfalls was outweighed by the high-order adverse impacts of loss of open space and harm to character and appearance, assessed against the Framework as a whole.
