Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Hilton Lodge, with particular regard to privacy
  • The effect of the proposed development on highways safety, with particular regard to sight lines
  • Whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for housing with regard to the local development strategy

What decided it

The cumulative unacceptable harm to character and appearance, living conditions through loss of privacy, and highway safety could not be outweighed by the modest housing contribution of a single dwelling.

The benefits of housing supply and efficient use of land within the settlement were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety.
