Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents in terms of the provision of internal living space
- Whether parking provision is acceptable having regard to highway safety and the promotion of sustainable transport modes
What decided it
The inadequate internal floor area of the proposed 2-bedroom unit, failing to meet minimum space standards and thereby providing unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, combined with the unacceptable overprovision of parking that undermines sustainable transport objectives, outweighed the limited housing benefit.
The harm identified in respect of inadequate internal living space and overprovision of parking significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefit of the additional housing when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, and the conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by other considerations including the Framework
