Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal property
- the availability of parking in the area
- the supply of housing in the area
What decided it
The significant adverse effects on living conditions of future occupiers regarding communal floorspace provision and on parking availability in the area could not be outweighed by the moderate benefits of additional housing supply.
The moderate benefits of housing supply and use of previously developed land were outweighed by the significant harm to living conditions of occupiers (inadequate communal space) and significant harm to parking availability in the area; the adverse impacts were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
