Land adjacent to 22B Tiverton Road, Cullompton, EX15 1JN

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• the effect of the development on the living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and internal space
• the effect of the development on highway safety with regard to parking provision
• the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cullompton Conservation Area
• whether the loss of employment land would be acceptable with regard to development plan policy

What decided it

The failure to provide adequate internal space standards and on-site parking provision, combined with privacy concerns, would cause unacceptable harm to living conditions and highway safety that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing benefit.

the adverse impacts of harm to the living conditions of future occupiers and to highway safety would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of a modest contribution of three dwellings to housing supply
