Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with specific reference to the availability of parking spaces
What decided it
The Inspector found no harm to character and appearance or to neighbours' living conditions, and concluded the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole, with housing and economic benefits attracting significant weight.
With no adverse impacts identified against the main issues or other matters, there were no adverse impacts that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits (including significant weight to housing delivery and economic/commercial benefits), so the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied and the appeal was allowed; in any event the proposal also accorded with the development plan as a whole.
