Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance arising from the incongruous design, scale and location of the proposed dwelling at the end of the terrace could not be outweighed by the limited housing benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The benefits of housing delivery and compliance with space standards and parking provision were limited and carried limited weight, but the significant harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed these benefits even when the tilted balance was applied
