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 a cramped appearance at odds with the prevailing pattern of development and spacious character of the residential area, conflicting with policies CP9 and DM35 and design guidance, and this harm was not outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme.

The benefits of the proposal, including housing supply and sustainable location, were limited in scope and scale and did not outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance and the associated development plan conflict

Plan policies cited: CP9, DM35
