What decided it
The significant and enduring harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of existing and future residents, when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single new dwelling despite the housing land supply shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery and support for local facilities were outweighed by the significant and enduring harm to character and appearance and to living conditions of neighbours, assessed against the Framework as a whole under the tilted balance.
