Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the safety of highway users
What decided it
The significant harm to highway safety from restricted visibility at the access and the reduction in on-street parking provision, which substantially and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development in terms of highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and modest economic support, such that the proposal does not represent sustainable development and the presumption in favour does not apply.
