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 significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous design and form of the proposed dwellings, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing supply benefits in the planning balance under paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.
The modest housing supply benefit and limited biodiversity net gain were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
