Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the impact of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to external amenity space, privacy and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The large expanses of hard surfacing for parking and turning space would be a dominant and visually unattractive feature that would be deleterious to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply.

The adverse impacts of granting planning permission in terms of harm to character and appearance of the area would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal, including housing supply and associated social and economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
