Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the appeal site would be in a suitable location for housing development, having regard to policies relating to defined settlement development limits
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing one additional dwelling when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of a single dwelling to housing supply, even in circumstances where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing supply.
