Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous and compressed appearance of the proposed dwelling and the erosion of the existing sense of openness outweighed the housing delivery and economic benefits.

The adverse impacts of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply

Development plan policies: Policy BE2Policy H6a
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 135
