Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Highway safety with specific regard to on and off-street parking
What decided it
The substantial and enduring harms to character and appearance and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of one additional dwelling in an area with housing supply shortfall.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and highway safety, afforded substantial weight, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity, afforded limited weight, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
