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 proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by eroding the established pattern of long linear rear gardens and introducing built development in rear gardens, and this harm is not outweighed by the benefits of providing self-build housing.
The benefits of providing two self-build and custom dwellings in a sustainable location with modest economic and social benefits did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance of the area and conflict with the development plan

- Development plan policies
