Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development having regard to the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area
- the provision of parking in terms of the number and arrangement of spaces, and the impacts on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties and future residents of the proposed units
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and the detrimental effects of the parking layout on living conditions, when assessed against the Framework as a whole, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing supply.
The positive contribution to housing supply and associated social and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance and parking provision, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
