Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide sufficient parking
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The cumulative substantial harm to parking provision for disabled occupants, character and appearance, and neighbouring living conditions outweighed the minor and limited weight given to housing delivery and brownfield reuse benefits.

The substantial cumulative harm to future occupants' parking needs, character and appearance, and neighbouring privacy and outlook was not outweighed by the small-scale benefits of housing delivery and brownfield reuse in a location with adequate housing land supply.
