Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the incongruous design and loss of spaciousness, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of one additional dwelling unit and limited economic advantages, even under the tilted balance.
The significant and long-lasting harm to character and appearance, given substantial weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate weight attached to housing supply shortfall and limited economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
