Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's poor design quality and harmful impact on character and appearance, which the Inspector found would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering a small windfall housing unit, even under the tilted balance.
The benefits of windfall housing delivery and making effective use of land were given significant weight, but the failure to represent high quality development and the substantial harm to character and appearance were given substantial negative weight, with the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
