Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to its siting, scale, design and density
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area from the introduction of a single-storey dwelling that would be incongruous with the established two-storey residential character and rhythm of the locality.
the harm to character and appearance, given significant weight, outweighed the limited benefits of efficient land use and housing contribution, such that even if a housing supply shortfall engaged the presumption in favour of sustainable development, the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
