Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on local parking and highway safety
  • Whether the development proposed would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to outlook, sunlight and daylight

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance of the area combined with harm to highway safety through increased parking pressure outweighed the moderate benefit of delivering a single new home.
