Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the development would provide adequate off-street parking provision and if not, the effect of on-street parking on the living conditions of nearby residents
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the cramped siting and incongruous contemporary design, which would not be outweighed by the modest housing benefits in the context of the tilted balance.
the adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
Plan policies cited: Policy EC2, Policy T8, RDG1, RDG2, RDG12
