Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the design and height of the property
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous roof design and height, which would sit uncomfortably in the street scene at odds with the prevailing roof forms of surrounding development, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The significant harm to character and appearance, weighted as significant because the relevant policies accord with the Framework, outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery, social and economic benefits, and environmental sustainability enhancements, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
Framework references: 11
