Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for future occupants
- whether the proposal would be accessible and adaptable for future occupants
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by infilling the gap between the terrace and the church, combined with the failure to provide an acceptable standard of accommodation and accessibility, demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance.
The benefits of delivering an additional dwelling in an accessible location at a time of housing land supply shortfall were outweighed by the demonstrable harm to character and appearance and the provision of an unacceptable standard of accommodation, including accessibility and adaptability deficiencies.
