Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous, cramped siting of the proposed dwelling, which would erode the established sense of space, outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling.
the significant harm to character and appearance, given substantial weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of a single dwelling when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
Framework references: 135, 11
