Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the proposal's incongruous design and footprint, which would undermine the existing pattern of development, outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single additional dwelling.
The substantial harm to character and appearance, given substantial weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply and other social and economic contributions from a single dwelling.
