Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would ensure highway safety
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area resulting from the scale, mass, height and layout of the proposed dwellings, which significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in the context of a three-year housing land supply shortfall.
The adverse effects resulting from the impact of the development on the character and appearance of the area significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the development when considered against the policies of the Framework as a whole.
