Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular regard to sunlight and outlook
- the effect of the proposal on nationally and internationally protected sites
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous subdivision and new dwelling substantially outweighs the limited housing benefits, particularly when assessed under the tilted balance in the absence of a five-year housing land supply.
The significant harm to character and appearance substantially and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity, even when assessed against the Framework policies under the tilted balance.
