Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether or not the proposal would include satisfactory carbon reduction and water efficiency measures

What decided it

The scheme would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area, including through potential damage to significant highway trees, and this harm would not be outweighed by the modest contribution to housing supply.
