Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of its future occupiers, with particular reference to internal space standards, internal layout and external space
- the effect of the proposed development on the supply of family homes
- the adequacy of parking provision
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the proposed development would provide satisfactory internal and external living conditions for future occupiers, combined with the negative effect on the supply of family homes, could not be outweighed by the modest benefit of one additional housing unit.
The modest benefit of one net additional housing unit was outweighed by the significant harm arising from conflicts with the development plan regarding living conditions and housing supply; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
