Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether appropriate living conditions would be secured for the future occupiers of the development in respect of internal and external space
- the effect of the development upon highway safety
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, and highway safety—with no material considerations to outweigh these breaches.
The scheme conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole, and no material considerations indicate the decision should be made other than in accordance with the development plan.
