Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The significant and enduring harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of future occupiers, particularly the poor outlook from the master bedroom, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single new home in an area with housing shortfall.
The benefits of housing delivery and support for local facilities were outweighed by the significant and enduring harm to character and appearance and living conditions of future occupiers.
