Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on ecology with particular regard to protected species and habitats
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance through a disproportionately large replacement dwelling and substantial hedgerow removal, combined with unresolved ecology concerns regarding protected species, outweighs the limited benefits and engages the presumption against development under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
The significant harm to character and appearance and ecology demonstrably and significantly outweighs the benefits of the proposal when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole, such that the proposal does not benefit from a presumption in favour of sustainable development.
Framework references: 11, 128, 135, 180, 186
