Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area through disruption of the spacious streetscape and established pattern of development significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of one additional dwelling to housing supply.

The adverse impacts of the development on character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole, notwithstanding the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
