Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on parking, with particular reference to highway safety on Silverwood Road
  • whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for existing and future occupiers, with regards to daylight/sunlight, outlook and privacy
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The harm to highway safety and the living conditions of existing and future occupiers substantially outweighed the benefit of providing a single additional dwelling in an area with no five-year housing supply.

The benefits of providing one additional dwelling in an area without a five-year housing supply were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on highway safety and the living conditions of existing and future occupiers, such that Policy S4 of the Framework did not point to permission being granted.
