Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area
- Highway safety, with particular regard to access
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to character and appearance through backland development contrary to the established linear building pattern, and would create unacceptable highway safety risks due to substandard access arrangements with inadequate visibility and excessive distance to the public highway.
The limited benefits of providing a new dwelling and modest economic benefits from construction employment and council tax revenue did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable highway safety impacts.
