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 unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, which would be significant and enduring and conflict with paragraph 135 of the Framework, substantially outweighs the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling in an area with insufficient housing land supply.
The significant and enduring harm to character and appearance, afforded substantial weight, substantially and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of housing delivery, economic activity and environmental gain, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
