Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling and the neighbouring occupiers of 557 and 559 Manchester Road with particular regard to privacy
- highway safety
What decided it
The adverse impacts of granting permission—harm to character and appearance, unacceptable effects on living conditions through loss of privacy, and highway safety concerns—significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefit of providing one additional housing unit.
The benefits of one additional housing unit were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions and privacy of existing and future occupiers, and highway safety, such that the proposal did not represent sustainable development despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
