Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the position, size and shape of the appeal site
What decided it
The site's position, size and shape make it fundamentally unsuitable for any 1-bedroom bungalow, and development would cause material unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area that cannot be overcome at reserved matters stage, which outweighs the modest housing supply benefits even under the tilted balance.
the modest social and economic benefits of housing supply and support to the building industry had limited weight in support, while the significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with development plan aims for well-designed places sympathetic to local character had significant weight against, resulting in the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits
