Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and any relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The poor design quality and harmful effect on character and appearance of the area, which outweighs the neutral housing supply benefit of replacing a demolished dwelling.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, particularly the harmful effect on character and appearance through poor design, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of previously developed land when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
