Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety in Stuart Close
- whether the proposal provides an appropriate carbon off-set contribution
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of no. 6 Stuart Close, with regard to outdoor garden space
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts on highway and pedestrian safety arising from the loss of off-street parking at the adjacent property, combined with the inadequate carbon off-setting provision, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the moderate benefit of delivering one additional home when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The moderate benefit of providing one additional home to address the housing land supply shortfall was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on highway and pedestrian safety and the lack of adequate carbon off-setting provision when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
