Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide a suitable site for housing, having regard to the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development, car parking provision and highway safety in the area
What decided it
The harm to the living conditions of future occupiers arising from inadequate external amenity space and private gardens, which would be long-lasting and would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing supply benefits.
The limited contribution of 5 dwellings to housing supply and associated social and economic benefits were outweighed by the long-lasting harm to the living conditions of future occupiers, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole.
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy DEV1, Policy DEV10, Policy DEV29
