Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would make appropriate provision for vehicle and cycle parking for future occupiers
- whether the proposal would provide adequate outdoor space for future occupiers
- whether the proposal would have sufficient provision for bin storage
- the effects of construction of the proposal
- the effects of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties with regard to sunlight, daylight and overshadowing
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance, combined with inadequate parking, outdoor space and bin storage provision, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of four additional housing units in an area with a 2.17-year housing land supply.
The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising substantial harm to character and appearance and significant harm to parking, outdoor space and bin storage, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of brownfield land.
