Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the impact of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with regard to the site's openness and its role within the streetscape, including its visual contribution and influence on the character of the street scene
What decided it
The significant harm to the openness and spatial character of the locality arising from the loss of greenfield land that currently contributes positively to the visual setting at the entrance to Foxholes Place cannot be outweighed by the limited housing and economic benefits of a single dwelling in an area with adequate housing land supply.
the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to the openness and character of the area
