Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions for occupiers of the property
- the effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The cumulative effect of unacceptable design harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupants, and undemonstrated highway safety would not be outweighed by the relatively limited contribution to housing supply.
The benefits of providing 7 additional dwellings in a context of housing supply deficit would not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupants, and highway safety.
