Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site is in a suitable location having regard to the Council's strategy for the location of housing and its access to services and facilities
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The adverse impacts on the Council's development strategy, increased reliance on private vehicle travel, and harm to character and appearance would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the minimal benefits of one additional dwelling when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

The adverse impacts on the Council's development strategy and of increasing travel by private vehicle, as well as the harm to the character and appearance of the area, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of one additional dwelling, even under the tilted balance of paragraph 11(d)(ii) of the Framework.
