Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on likely development of allocated land at the rear
- the adequacy of storage in proposed flats A and B
- the adequacy of off-street car parking
- the effect of the proposed development on the surrounding street scene
What decided it
The council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, combined with the proposal's delivery of 4 residential units in a sustainable location without significant adverse impacts, tipped the balance in favour of allowing the appeal.
The benefits of housing delivery and the sustainable location of the site outweighed the shortfall against parking standards and the council's concerns about impact on future development of adjacent land.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11dii
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
