Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nos. 6-8 Bowens Hill Road, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The development's failure to provide sufficient on-site parking provision would risk unacceptable harm to highway safety, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefit of one additional dwelling.
The adverse impacts of the development in terms of harm to highway safety would significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
