Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development, namely the proposed rear dormer, on the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
  • The effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of parking and associated manoeuvring space.
  • Whether suitable living conditions for the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling would be provided with regard to internal space.

What decided it

The considerable weight afforded to the harmful effect on character and appearance and highway safety in relation to parking provision outweighed the modest housing supply benefit in the absence of a five-year supply.

The modest benefit of delivering one dwelling in the context of a shortfall in housing land supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the considerable harm to character and appearance and highway safety, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
