Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Benett Avenue street scene
- the effect on a cedar tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order
- the adequacy of private amenity space for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling
What decided it
Brighton and Hove's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, which tilts the planning balance in favour of the housing benefit of the additional dwelling.
the modest adverse impacts on character and appearance and neighbour amenity, when weighed against the significant benefit of delivering an additional dwelling in an area with a substantial five-year housing land supply shortfall, tipped decisively in favour of allowing the appeal
