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 living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with regard to privacy and overbearing impact
  • the provision of parking on site and the resultant impacts on congestion and the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties and future residents of the proposed units

What decided it

The inadequate provision of on-site parking in Appeal A, contrary to the Council's Parking Standards SPD and resulting in detrimental impacts on congestion and neighbouring living conditions, could not be outweighed by housing supply benefits under the tilted balance.

the adverse impacts of granting planning permission in terms of parking provision would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
