Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether it would provide an acceptable standard of internal accommodation for future occupiers
- The effect on on-street parking and whether it would make sufficient provision for off-street parking
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions and parking provision, when weighed against the moderate benefit of one additional dwelling in the context of housing land supply shortfall, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
The moderate weight given to housing delivery and the council's 5-year housing land supply shortfall was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the great weight attached to the collective harms to character and appearance, living conditions and parking provision.
