Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The significant and permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area, arising from the proposal's prominent and intrusive siting and incongruous design, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of delivering one additional dwelling and self-build housing.

The adverse impacts of the proposal, being material harm to character and appearance in conflict with Framework policies on well-designed places, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and self-build provision, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
