Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide suitably designed parking and access arrangements
What decided it
The parking and access arrangements and frontage design of the new property represent particularly poor design that would be contrary to local plan policies and NPPF requirements, and the adverse impacts of this poor design would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery.
Although there would be considerable benefits to the provision of a new dwelling in an accessible area of the settlement, the adverse impacts of allowing such a poorly designed development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole
