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 adverse impacts to the character and appearance of the area, caused by the cramped form of development and poor design quality, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the scheme's benefits even when assessed against the tilted balance in paragraph 11d)ii of the Framework.

The significant adverse impacts to the character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweigh the scheme's benefits (housing supply, socio-economic benefits and personal circumstances), such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
