Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon housing mix in the area with particular regard to the provision of family sized dwellings
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether adequate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers with particular regard to external space standards, privacy, daylight and sunlight
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to existing garden space and privacy
- the effect of the development upon highway safety with particular regard to parking
- whether the proposal promotes inclusive design
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers due to overshadowing and substandard external space, and unmitigated highway safety concerns regarding parking outweighed the benefits of housing supply and inclusive design.
