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 harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the reduction in openness, breach of building lines, and incongruous detached siting outweighed the moderate benefits of delivering one new dwelling in a context of housing undersupply.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and good accommodation standards were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
