What decided it
The cumulative harms to character and appearance, highway safety, parking provision and privacy outweighed the benefits of housing supply, providing a clear reason for resisting the proposed development.
The benefits of two dwellings adding to housing supply in a sustainable location were outweighed by the disbenefits arising from harm to character and appearance, privacy and highway matters
