Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- Whether the proposal would be accessible
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate refuse facilities
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, accessibility, highway safety, and refuse facilities—and these harms are not outweighed by the general support for housing supply.
