Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide its occupants with acceptable living conditions
What decided it
The harm arising from the proposal's incongruous design and failure to provide acceptable living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the minor benefits of housing provision when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The harm to character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable living conditions, given significant weight, outweighed the minor benefits of 4 self-contained units in a sustainable location, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
