Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on a) the character and appearance of the area
- b) highway safety with specific regard to on and off-street parking
What decided it
The identified harms to the character and appearance of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset and to highway safety, when assessed against the Framework as a whole, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of delivering one additional residential unit.
The substantial weight given to harm to the heritage significance of the Non-Designated Heritage Asset and to highway safety, combined with the moderate weight afforded to the housing supply shortfall, resulted in the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the limited benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
