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 the living conditions of the occupiers of Sheraton, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area, resulting from the tight-knit and regimented form of development creating a harsh boundary with the adjacent countryside, outweighed the housing delivery and other benefits of the scheme.
the benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing provision, and social and economic benefits did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan
