Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The design quality of the proposed dwelling: Appeal A's blank side elevation created unacceptable visual harm to a prominent corner, whereas Appeal B's lower massing, twin gables, and rendered finish appropriately responded to local character.
Appeal A: the adverse impacts on character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and construction activity, when assessed against the Framework as a whole; Appeal B: no balancing exercise required as the proposal accords with the development plan.
