Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not adequate arrangements are made for the disposal of surface water from the site
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous modern design of the proposed dwellings in relation to the existing traditional bungalows, which alone would not be outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme.
The harm to character and appearance alone significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of four new dwellings and limited economic benefits, with no material considerations that would outweigh the identified harm and development plan conflict.
