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 highway safety, with particular regard to adequacy of parking provision
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling and maintained for the occupants of 18 and 18A Blandford Avenue, with particular regard to garden area
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and unacceptable highway safety effects from inadequate parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest contribution of one dwelling to housing supply.
The modest housing benefit and small economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the considerable harm to character and appearance and unacceptable highway safety effects.
