Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including its impact on existing trees and hedges
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants with regard to external amenity space and privacy
- The effect of the proposed access and parking on the safety of highway users
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through loss of hedgerow and likely removal of boundary trees, combined with unsuitable outdoor amenity space for future occupants due to heavy shading, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing supply benefits even in the context of a shortfall in five-year supply.
The benefits of housing delivery and addressing the shortfall in housing land supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the unsatisfactory living conditions for future occupants, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
