Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The development would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing a discordant feature at odds with the established linear layout and spacious character of the surrounding built form, and this harm could not be justified by the modest housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling.
The significant harm to character and appearance was weighed against the modest benefits of housing supply and economic benefits for a single dwelling; the harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
