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.
