Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of no. 16 and 18 Halifax Avenue with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the safe and efficient operation of the highway in the vicinity of the site
What decided it
The combination of harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for neighbouring occupants, and unsafe highway access arrangements could not be outweighed by the limited housing benefit, particularly given the Council's demonstrated five-year housing land supply.
the modest benefit of two additional dwellings did not outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety
