Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents
  • whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers
  • whether the proposed development would include appropriate provision for the parking of vehicles in order to encourage sustainable travel choices

What decided it

The cumulative effect of significant harm to character and appearance, material harm to the living conditions of No 131, and failure to meet parking standards outweighed the benefits of additional housing in an area where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year supply.

The benefits of providing additional dwellings and housing mix in an area with insufficient housing supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the long-lasting harms to character and appearance, the living conditions of neighbouring residents, and inadequate parking provision.
