Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate car parking, cycle parking, and pedestrian access
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate refuse storage and servicing
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its narrow width, lack of side gaps, and cramped appearance, which would be contrary to the development plan.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and excess parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery on a small site.
