Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the area through the loss of an important gap in the street scene substantially outweighs the limited housing and economic benefits of a single additional dwelling.
The adverse impacts on character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
