Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the appeal site and street scene
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 61 Cedar Road, with regard to outlook and natural light
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for parking and, related to this, the effect on highway safety
What decided it
The materially harmful effect on parking provision and highway safety through inadequate on-site parking standards, contrary to Policy PMD8 and Policies PMD2 and PMD9 of the Core Strategy, outweighed the acceptable effects on character and appearance and living conditions.
The benefits of the proposal in terms of acceptable character and appearance and manageable living conditions effects were outweighed by the material harm to parking and highway safety through inadequate on-site provision.
