Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, being unsympathetic to local character and failing to maintain a strong sense of place, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of a single dwelling.
The modest benefits of housing provision and environmental enhancements were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
