Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of surrounding residents, in particular from loss of privacy, overbearing and overpowering impact
  • Whether the proposed development makes adequate provision for car parking and would lead to the displacement of existing on-street parking provision to the detriment of existing residents
  • Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect upon biodiversity

What decided it

The adverse impacts on character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring residents significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of providing three new dwellings.

The limited benefits of housing provision were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring residents, despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply
