Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on parking availability, with particular respect to the impact on the convenience and amenities of local residents
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with respect to the absence of a lift and buggy store and with regard to access to daylight, sunlight and outlook for flats 9 and 15 and in regard to the pollution impact and ease of access for flats 2 and 3

What decided it

The provision of 18 affordable dwellings combined with the site's accessibility and the absence of material harm to parking, living conditions or highway safety, in the context of the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply, justified allowing the appeal.

The significant benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing provision outweighed the limited concerns regarding parking provision and living conditions of future occupiers.
