Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed development would significantly reduce the visual gap between neighbouring properties and appear cramped within the street scene, causing substantial harm to the rural fringe character and openness of the area that outweighs the limited benefit of one additional dwelling.
The limited housing benefits of one additional dwelling in a sustainable location were insufficient to outweigh the substantial harm to character and appearance of the rural fringe area
