Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the site location would be suitable for a dwelling, having regard to relevant local and national planning policies
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of existing neighbouring properties, in particular No. 42 Main Street with regard to noise and disturbance from cars
  • whether the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area, the living conditions of existing occupiers through noise and disturbance from vehicles, and would result in unacceptable highway safety impacts due to inadequate visibility splays.

Although the proposal would provide minor social and economic benefits and would not threaten the sustainable growth strategy or harm the countryside landscape, these considerations do not outweigh the significant harms identified in relation to design, neighbouring amenity and highway safety.
