Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with regard particularly to visibility
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The inability to achieve adequate visibility splays for the proposed vehicular access, which would be detrimental to highway safety and contrary to Policy DM2.
The potential benefit of freeing up one or two parking spaces was given very limited weight and was insufficient to outweigh the harm to highway safety from lack of adequate visibility and the harm to character and appearance and the AONB.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM2Policy DM12
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.
