Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on (a) the character and appearance of the surrounding area and (b) a protected species
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous design, loss of open aspect, and cramped form of development, combined with insufficient information on protected species impacts, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits even under the tilted balance.
the unacceptable harm to character and appearance and the conflict with design policies, together with the absence of sufficient information on protected species effects, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of 4 dwellings and efficient use of land, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
