Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed developments on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the proposed developments provide an appropriate housing mix and density
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the loss of the clear road frontage pattern and spacious character, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing contributions even under the tilted balance.
the significant adverse effects on character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing contributions, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development would not apply
