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 unbalancing of the terrace symmetry and disruption of views, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the minimal housing supply benefits of a single dwelling despite the Council's acknowledged housing shortfall.
The significant harm to character and appearance, given substantial weight, outweighs the moderate weight given to the provision of an additional dwelling in the context of the Borough's housing shortfall; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
