Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, which would result from the intrusive form of development eroding the spacious character of Honeyhill Road, outweighs the benefits of housing provision even in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
The benefits of housing provision and the Council's housing land supply shortfall were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, such that the adverse effects significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits and the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
