Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance, living conditions and parking significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of one additional dwelling when assessed against the Framework as a whole, despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply.
