Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on highway safety with specific regard to on and off-street parking
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to highway safety caused by inadequate and poorly positioned parking provision, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits of a single dwelling.
the significant and enduring harm to highway safety substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of one dwelling and the acknowledged shortfall in housing supply, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
