Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The relationship of the proposal to the host dwelling and whether a demonstrated need has been established for the proposed building
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with the failure to demonstrate a special need for the development in the form and location proposed, outweighed the limited benefits even under the tilted balance.
The limited private and economic benefits of the proposal were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
