Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would make suitable provision for pedestrian and cycle links
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area, which conflicts with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by the moderate housing benefit.
The moderate weight given to the benefit of 6 additional dwellings and housing supply was outweighed by the significant weight attached to the conflict with the Local Plan and Framework regarding character and appearance.
Framework references: 135
Plan policies cited: Policy 5, Policy 20, Policy 39, Policy 40, Policy 48
