Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 2 Falmer Gardens, with particular reference to outlook and sunlight
  • whether the proposed parking arrangements are adequate

What decided it

The cumulative adverse impacts on character and appearance and on neighbouring living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering a single new dwelling, notwithstanding the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.

The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on character and appearance and on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
