Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants of the existing and proposed dwellings with regard to external amenity space
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance, given significant weight in accordance with NPPF paragraph 225, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, such that the tilted balance did not favour permission.
The significant harm to character and appearance, weighted in accordance with NPPF paragraph 225 as consistent with the Framework, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and contribution to the five-year supply shortfall, tipping the balance against the proposal despite the shortfall.
Framework references: 11, 60, 70, 123, 131, 135, 225
