Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue relevant to this appeal is the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
What decided it
Under the tilted balance, the significant benefits of housing delivery (including affordable housing) were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate harm to character and appearance.
The significant benefits of market and affordable housing delivery, together with moderate economic benefits and limited biodiversity/Council Tax benefits, outweighed the moderate adverse effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, so permission was granted under the tilted balance.
