Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to its siting, scale and design
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the forward siting, scale, and discordant design of the proposed dwelling outweighs the limited housing and economic benefits when assessed under the tilted balance.
The limited benefits of delivering a single dwelling and economic gains were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance of the area.
