Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of its surroundings

What decided it

The proposed bungalow would appear incongruous and out-of-keeping in its visual context, being entirely at odds with the appearance of nearby two-storey semi-detached development and eroding the sense of spaciousness that contributes positively to local character.

the adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, notwithstanding the Council's failure to provide an acceptable supply of housing land
