Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Highway safety
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties, with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to character and appearance and highway safety, when weighed against the moderate benefits of housing supply in a location without a five-year supply, resulted in the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits.

The moderate benefits of housing supply and small economic and social benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable impact on highway safety.
