Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The creation of high quality places is fundamental to what the planning and development process should achieve, which the proposed development would not, and this weighs substantially against the appeal, outweighing the moderate housing benefits.
The moderate weight given to housing supply contribution and limited biodiversity benefits was substantially outweighed by the considerable harm to character and appearance and the failure to create a high quality place, resulting in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under NPPF paragraph 11(d)
