Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to the provision of off-street car parking
- whether the proposal would achieve the highest standards of fire safety
What decided it
The absence of suitable and workable parking arrangements for two separate households in an area with poor accessibility and no footways, combined with unresolved fire safety concerns, outweighs the modest benefits of additional housing supply.
