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 unacceptable and harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area, given very significant weight, outweighed the moderate weight given to housing delivery benefits when the tilted balance was applied.
The very significant weight of adverse impacts on character and appearance and failure to create high quality places significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate weight given to housing delivery benefits and other social and economic benefits, resulting in dismissal despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
