Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate car parking arrangements
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance combined with inadequate car parking arrangements outweighed the limited housing benefits in the context of the tilted balance.
The benefits of the proposal, limited by the scale of development and comprising housing supply contribution and temporary economic benefits, did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to demonstrate adequate car parking arrangements when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole.
