Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development provides a suitable housing mix
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area caused by the narrow frontages and limited spacing of the proposed dwellings outweighs the benefits of housing delivery and provision of needed 3-bedroom units under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of significant harm to character and appearance significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of net housing increase and provision of needed 3-bedroom dwellings when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole
