Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway amenity
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character of the area through incongruous backland siting and the significant reduction in parking provision creating harmful on-street parking pressure together substantially and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of a single dwelling.
The adverse impact on character of the area and highway amenity attracts substantial weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighs the benefits of housing supply and economic benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole, displacing the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
