Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
Whether there would be adequate vehicular access and parking, and the effect on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would not provide adequate vehicular access and parking arrangements and would have an unacceptably harmful effect on highway safety, contrary to Policy QL10 and Framework paragraph 110, which the modest housing and economic benefits could not overcome.

The benefits of providing an additional home and local economic support were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to highway safety arising from inadequate access and parking arrangements.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy QL9Policy EN1Policy QL10
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 11Paragraph 48Paragraph 74Paragraph 110Paragraph 219
