Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, taking account of the Council's spatial strategy and access to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular regard to the size of outdoor garden space
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The combined material harm to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupiers, and potential highway safety issues significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in circumstances of housing land supply shortfall.
The benefits of four new homes and support for the principle of development within the Framework were outweighed by the combined significant and enduring harm to character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety, and the conflict with the spatial strategy.
