Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area

What decided it

The significant adverse harm to the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area, caused by the disruption of the established pattern and placement of development and the loss of the gap that contributes to openness, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use.

Under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, the adverse impacts of the proposal—significant harm to character and appearance—significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use, tipping the balance against the scheme.
