Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- highway safety, with particular regard to access
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous materials, detailing and layout of the proposed dwellings in a prominent location at the entrance to an established hamlet with a clear rural character, which could not be outweighed by housing supply benefits.
the adverse impacts of the development, particularly the unacceptable harm to character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of three dwellings and housing land supply contribution, displacing the presumption in favour of sustainable development
