Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space and outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety with regard to car parking provision
What decided it
The cumulative harm to living conditions of future occupiers, character and appearance of the area, and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery in circumstances of housing land supply shortfall.
The adverse impacts arising from effects on living conditions of future occupiers, character and appearance of the area, and highway safety would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited weight attributed to the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole; the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
