Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable provision of private amenity space and access
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable bin storage space
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by poor design quality and the lack of suitable accessible access to the proposed front doors outweighed the benefits of housing delivery where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The adverse impacts of significant harm to rural character and appearance and lack of suitable access would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole, despite the engagement of the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) due to the lack of five-year housing land supply.
Framework references: 131, 78, 11
