Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant and long-lasting adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area, which would not be outweighed by the limited housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling, even in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The significant and long-lasting harm to character and appearance outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits from a single dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply and the decision should accord with the development plan
