Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The supply of family housing
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance from the unbalanced roof design and large dormers, combined with the loss of two family housing units without compensatory provision, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefit of three additional dwellings.
The modest social and economic benefit of three additional dwellings in a sustainable location was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse effect on character and appearance and the loss of family housing without appropriate mix, applying the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d)
