Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would make satisfactory provision for parking, having regard to local parking standards and highway safety
- Whether it would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to internal space and privacy
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to provide acceptable living conditions due to inadequate internal floor space and the unacceptable highway safety impact from insufficient parking provision together demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery.
The moderate benefits of delivering a single dwelling on a windfall site in a sustainable location were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harms of inadequate living conditions and unacceptable highway safety impacts.
