Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and create a detrimental effect on highway safety for pedestrians, with no material considerations outweighing the conflict with the development plan.
The appellant's security concerns and personal circumstances were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the detrimental effect on pedestrian highway safety, with no other considerations capable of overriding the development plan conflict.
