Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed dwelling would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, with specific regard to the amount of internal space
- whether the proposed dwelling would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, with specific regard to outlook, sunlight and daylight
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with specific regard to whether adequate visibility splays could be achieved
- whether the proposal would make adequate parking provision
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupants and unacceptable highway safety risks, outweighed the modest benefits of housing supply and efficient land use.
