Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 Station Road and whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- highway safety
- the integrity of European sites
- local infrastructure
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to noise and disturbance from unrelated vehicle movements and would result in substandard access and parking arrangements detrimental to highway safety, contrary to the development plan.
The modest benefits of housing supply and efficient land use were outweighed by the significant harm arising from unsatisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, highway safety concerns, and failure to secure mitigation for European sites and local infrastructure.
