Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the preservation or enhancement of the Braceborough Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal's failure to accord with the character and appearance requirements of Policy SP3(d) and Policy DE1, combined with the finding that adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh benefits under the tilted balance, despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The moderate weight given to the benefit of a new dwelling and minor weight to economic and social benefits and energy efficiency measures were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance, design quality, and the conservation area, when assessed against Framework policies as a whole.
