Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, and the effect that it would have upon the living conditions of the occupiers of the existing property
- the effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to living conditions of both the existing and proposed occupiers and to highway safety outweighs the limited benefits of delivering one additional dwelling in circumstances where the tilted balance applies.
The harm identified (unacceptable impact on living conditions and harmful effect on highway safety) significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited social and economic benefits of delivering an additional dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
