Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the provision of recreational open space in the area
What decided it
The significant harmful effects on character and appearance and loss of recreational open space substantially and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution, particularly as poor design should not be justified by housing need.
The identified adverse impacts in respect of character and open space would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, and the presumption in favour of development does not apply.
