Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- 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 future occupiers, with particular regard to bedroom sizes
- the effect of the proposed parking arrangement on highway safety
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and the very limited harm from the lack of parking provision for a single dwelling did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery.
the benefits of providing a single new home to assist in meeting housing need, with limited economic benefits and support for local facilities, outweighed the very limited harm from the lack of car parking provision, when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole
