Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable and harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area by introducing a parked car and vehicular crossover into a high-quality pedestrian area, conflicting with the development plan and NPPF.
The limited weight given to highway safety and public transport benefits did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to character and appearance and conflict with the development plan
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 127
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
