What decided it
The materially harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area, caused by the cramped and contrived arrangement of two detached dwellings on conspicuously narrow plots with contrasting roof forms, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering one net additional dwelling in a sustainable location.
