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 proposed dwelling's incongruous layout, excessive width and forward position relative to the established built form would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighs the moderate benefits of providing one additional dwelling.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery, economic and environmental gains were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
