Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed development would interrupt the established building line along Chestnut Avenue and erode the sense of openness at the corner, causing significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighs the modest contribution to housing supply.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of one additional dwelling to housing supply; the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
