What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, which the Inspector found would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefits of one dwelling in the context of housing land supply shortfall.
The significant harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery in the context of a 2.03-year housing land supply shortfall, as the proposal would not achieve sustainable development through well-designed places.
