Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 32 Easterford Road, with particular regard to the private amenity space provision
- highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 32, which conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole, outweighs the modest benefits of providing a single dwelling in a sustainable location.
The modest benefits of providing an additional dwelling in a sustainable location would not outweigh the adverse impacts of unacceptable harm to character and appearance and living conditions, such that the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
Plan policies cited: Policy LPP35, Policy LPP52, Policy LPP43, Policy DE1
