Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether appropriate arrangements have been made to secure a financial contribution towards the provision of local affordable housing
- the effect of the development on highway safety, with specific regard to parking layout and access
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupants of 2 Bredon View, with regards to external amenity space and parking layout
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous siting of a detached dwelling between semi-detached properties, combined with the failure to secure the required affordable housing contribution, substantially outweighs the benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance.
the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and failure to provide affordable housing significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing one dwelling and modest economic and social benefits, tipping against the proposal despite the shortfall in five-year housing land supply
