Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed new dwelling on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Broadway Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would have a dominating and harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area by appearing cramped and imposing, conflicting with both the development plan and the Framework's requirement that new development be visually attractive and sympathetic to local character.
The adverse effects on character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SWDP21
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 12
