Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would result in a harmful loss of open space
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and loss of public open space, when weighed against the modest housing benefits of a single dwelling in an area with a 2.74-year supply shortfall, demonstrably outweighs the benefits under the Framework.
The modest housing and socio-economic benefits of a single dwelling were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and loss of public open space, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
