Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate parking provision

What decided it

The identified harm to character and appearance and the inadequate parking provision, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing and economic benefits, even under the tilted balance applicable where five-year housing land supply cannot be demonstrated.

The limited benefits of housing supply and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance and parking adequacy, notwithstanding the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply
