Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development provides appropriate car parking provision
What decided it
The significant harm caused to the character and appearance of the area by the proposed garages and their siting, which would outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of the site.
The significant harm to character and appearance, to which the Framework attaches substantial importance, outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery, economic benefits, and efficient use of previously developed land; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
