Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that the development would have on the character and appearance of the appeal site and local street scene
What decided it
The new detached dwelling would appear incongruously squeezed between existing semi-detached dwellings and fail to maintain the uniform character of Kings Meadow, and this adverse impact on character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing benefits under the tilted balance.
The adverse impact of the development on character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh any planning benefit in terms of the Framework, notwithstanding the lack of a five-year housing land supply
