Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on travel patterns and modes of transport
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents
  • the effect of the development on highway safety
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with development plan policies to promote travel by non-car means and would harm the living conditions of neighbouring residents through noise and disturbance, with no material considerations indicating a decision should be made otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.

The conflicts with development plan policies on travel patterns and living conditions outweighed the lack of harm to highway safety and character and appearance, which were neutral in the planning balance.
