Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
- Parking provision and the effective operation of the public highway
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and moderate harm to highway operation would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing a single additional dwelling, even accounting for the Council's housing supply shortfall.
The harm to character and appearance and moderate harm to highway operation significantly and demonstrably outweighed the social and economic benefits of providing a single 2 bedroom dwelling and the Council's housing supply position, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
