Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that the proposed development would have on the character of the surrounding area
What decided it
The harm to the character of the surrounding area caused by the siting, scale and bulk of the proposed dwellings, which would be harmfully at odds with the local development pattern and incongruous in the street scene, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of delivering 2 additional homes.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the significant and demonstrable harm to the character of the surrounding area when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy DM1, Policy DM2, Policy DM5, Policy DM18, Policy DM19
