Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed house would appear cramped and incongruous in its prominent position, contrasting poorly with the open and spacious character of the cul-de-sac, and this harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of the scheme.

The modest benefits of housing delivery, sustainable construction, renewable energy measures, and local economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts to the character and appearance of the area.
