Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the residents of 14 Makepiece Road, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The substantial and wide-ranging harms to character and appearance and highway safety, when weighed against the contextually small contribution to housing supply of a single dwelling, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under the tilted balance test.

The substantial harms to character and appearance and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply contribution from a single dwelling, such that the proposal was not sustainable development for which the presumption in favour applies.
