Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the development proposed would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants, with regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area arising from the removal of a substantial section of the prominent local stone boundary wall would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of two dwellings to housing supply when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impact of harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply contribution and the appellant's personal circumstances regarding the large garden.
