What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposal upon character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
The limited benefits of housing choice, economic activity during construction, and environmental compliance were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance of the terrace and streetscene.

- Development plan policies
- Policy SCLP11.1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 78
