Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site represents an appropriate location for the proposed dwelling, with reference to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the local character and appearance of the area, which would result from introducing an incongruous development pattern that conflicts with the prevailing frontage character and extends urban form into the countryside, outweighed the modest benefits of housing supply and economic contribution.
