Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the development on the character and appearance of the area, particularly the loss of informal green space and the enclosing effect on a prominent school route, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing benefits of a single dwelling.
The adverse impacts of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
