Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on a tree
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, having regard to the availability of internal floorspace and access to external amenity space
What decided it
The significant and enduring harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of future occupiers, when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of the proposal.
The benefits of housing delivery and support for local facilities were outweighed by the significant and enduring harm to character and appearance and living conditions, with the Framework's emphasis on well-designed development providing high amenity tipping the balance against the proposal despite the shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
Framework references: 11
