Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to off-street parking
What decided it
The proposed development would not have an unacceptable impact on highway safety and would provide three additional dwellings in a context of housing land supply shortfall, with no adverse impacts that could significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
The benefits of providing three additional dwellings (moderate weight) and economic uplift (moderate weight) outweighed the absence of any significant adverse impacts, in the context of the Council's housing land supply shortfall triggering the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
