- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- Surface water drainage
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise, disturbance, fumes and daylight
What decided it
The significant adverse effects on the character and appearance of the area and the inability to satisfactorily manage surface water drainage significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply and other considerations under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development, particularly harm to character and appearance and unresolved drainage concerns, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing supply, self-build provision, and sustainability measures, even accounting for the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
