Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the principle of the proposed development would be acceptable with particular regard to its location and the spatial strategy
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The substantial and enduring harm to character and appearance and the conflict with the spatial strategy, when weighed against the limited benefits of two units, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the presumption in favour of sustainable development under NPPF paragraph 11.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and conflict with the spatial strategy were ascribed substantial weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery, economic effects, biodiversity net gain, and self-build provision, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
