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 the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 and 4 Parkmead, Broadpark Road with regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, when weighed against the limited benefits of a single dwelling, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of providing a single dwelling and making efficient use of previously developed land, even applying the tilted balance due to the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply.
