Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would include suitable arrangements for refuse storage
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the overly bulky and visually imposing extension, which is inconsistent with the established pattern of surrounding development, outweighs the benefits of housing supply when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of housing supply and effective use of land in a sustainable location were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and the failure to demonstrate adequate refuse collection arrangements, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
