- Appeal A: highway safety in regard to parking provision
- Appeal B: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and highway safety would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very modest benefits of one additional dwelling in a context of housing land supply shortfall.
The significant harm to character and appearance and highway safety would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing delivery and economic activity, such that the proposal would not constitute sustainable development under the Framework.
