Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the development strategy for the area and accessibility to services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and the unsustainable location significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of the scheme, particularly given the neutral impact on housing supply compared to the extant fallback position.
The harm relating to location and character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of two dwellings and socio-economic benefits from construction and occupation, particularly as the fallback position would deliver the same housing without the additional harm.
