Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area caused by the development's incongruous siting beyond the established building line and erosion of the prominent open verges significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest contribution to housing delivery and limited economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole
