Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on pedestrian safety

What decided it

The loss of grass verges on Heyes Lane would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area in conflict with Policy AE3 of the Alderley Edge Neighbourhood Plan.

The modest benefits of housing provision, site reuse and local economic benefit did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance caused by loss of grass verges
