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 character and appearance caused by the incongruent density and layout of the development, together with the overly urbanised access design, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery and limited economic contributions.
The adverse impacts arising from harm to character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the scheme's benefits (seven dwellings and limited economic and social benefits) when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy 4 (The Natural Environment), Policy 24 (Design), Policy 1
