Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether sufficient car parking would be provided
- the effect of the development upon highway safety
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether there is a mechanism to secure the delivery of on-site affordable housing
What decided it
The significant adverse effects on character and appearance combined with the substantial harm to highway safety and inadequate car parking provision demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and affordable housing provision under the tilted balance test.
