Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is in a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the spatial strategy in the Development Plan
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 15 Woodlands Close with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposal on the safety of highway users
What decided it
The engagement of paragraph 14 of the NPPF, which provides that adverse impacts of development conflicting with a recent neighbourhood plan meeting its housing requirement are likely to significantly and demonstrably outweigh benefits, combined with the substantial harm to character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety.
The limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling and addressing the housing land supply shortfall were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the conflict with the neighbourhood plan policies, permanent harm to character and appearance, harm to neighbouring living conditions and highway safety, and inadequate living conditions for future occupiers.
