What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions of existing and future occupiers, and parking stress significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefit when assessed against the Framework as a whole, notwithstanding the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The modest benefit of nine new dwellings was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, living conditions of existing neighbours, living conditions for potential occupiers, and increased on-street parking stress.
