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 modern dwelling would be prominently visible in a key townscape location and would harmfully erode the quaint, traditional village character of the enclave, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the minor benefits of the scheme even under the tilted balance.

The benefits associated with the appeal scheme, including housing delivery under paragraph 11d, were sufficiently minor that the adverse impacts of allowing the appeal—the harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area—would significantly and demonstrably outweigh them
