Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surroundings
  • the effect of the parking and access arrangement on character and appearance and biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the surroundings by introducing a new independent dwelling in close proximity to the main house, contrary to the established spacious character of the area and the RASC designation, and this harm outweighed the limited benefits of the development.

the limited benefits arising from housing supply and economic gains were outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan
