Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts to character and appearance of the area, arising from the cramped form of development and subdivision of a prominent corner plot inconsistent with the spacious, established pattern of the estate, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of a single additional dwelling.
The limited benefits of one additional dwelling and modest economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts to character and appearance of the area, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
