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 biodiversity
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
What decided it
The proposed development would harmfully disrupt the character and appearance of the area by introducing backland dwellings that do not reflect the established linear pattern of spacious development, and this harm could not be outweighed by the limited benefits offered.
