Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed car parking area on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook and natural light
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three material grounds—character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety—and the material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.

The benefits of housing delivery to the five-year housing land supply carried only limited weight and did not outweigh the harm identified in relation to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety
