Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and of the area
- the effect of the development on the availability of on-street parking for residents of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide appropriate facilities for the storage of refuse and recycling materials
What decided it
The significant harmful effects on character and appearance and on-street parking availability, when weighed against the moderate benefits of housing delivery, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
The significant harms to character and appearance and on-street parking availability, given moderate weight to the benefits of seven additional flats and housing delivery, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
