Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The permanent harm caused to the character and appearance of the area by the loss of the characteristic setback and openness at the junction, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of a single additional housing unit on a sustainable windfall site.
The adverse impacts of approval caused by harm to character and appearance, attracting full weight, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited weight afforded to the benefits of housing supply and sustainable location, such that the scheme does not represent sustainable development.
