Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal's incongruous siting and prominence at the road junction would unacceptably and significantly harm the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with the development plan and Framework policies requiring development to respond to local character and context.

The benefits of the proposal (local economic benefits during construction and delivery of a family dwelling) were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on character and appearance when assessed against the Framework's decision-making policies.
