Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the highway safety in the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
What decided it
The proposed development would have an adverse effect on highway safety due to unsafe traffic movements and increased potential for conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians or cyclists, contrary to Policies LLP25 and LLP32 of the Luton Local Plan and paragraphs 110, 111 and 112 of the NPPF.
The lack of significant harm to character and appearance was significantly outweighed by the harm found regarding highway safety.
Framework references: 110, 111, 112, 126, 130
