Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 46, 48 and 50 Kimberley Road, with regard to external amenity space and privacy
- whether the development would provide satisfactory living conditions for its occupants in relation to privacy within the garden
- whether the scheme makes adequate provision for surface water drainage
- the effect of the proposed parking arrangements on highway safety
What decided it
The combined adverse impacts on character and appearance, neighbour amenity, future occupant living conditions, drainage and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest social and economic benefits of delivering one small family dwelling, even in the context of housing land supply shortfall.
