Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for occupants, in particular with respect to outlook, privacy and light to the ground floor unit, and the external amenity space for the upper floor units
- whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle parking
What decided it
The demonstrable harm to character and appearance combined with the failure to provide acceptable standards of accommodation significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefit of delivering three housing units in circumstances of housing land supply shortfall.
The benefits of delivering three residential units in an accessible location at a time of housing land supply shortfall were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable standards of accommodation.
