Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the living conditions of future occupiers would be acceptable in terms of internal space and layout
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to parking and access
What decided it
The harm to living conditions and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing benefit, even under the tilted balance applicable where the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
The modest benefits of one dwelling and local economic growth were outweighed by the significant harms to living conditions and highway safety, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, despite the Council's shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
