Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to the provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, to which significant weight was attributed, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of the proposal on character and appearance, given their long-lasting nature, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of providing a new dwelling to housing supply, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
