Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of 106 High Street with particular reference to light
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular reference to outdoor space, light and outlook, and noise
  • the effect of the proposal on on-street parking and the highways network

What decided it

The harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers and the lack of car parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The modest benefits of delivering one dwelling in a moderately sustainable location and contributing to housing land supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers and adverse effects on on-street parking and highway safety.
