Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety having regard to the visibility of the access onto Station Road
- The effect of the proposed access arrangements on the living conditions of the occupiers of 58A and 62 Station Road having regard to noise and vehicular activity
What decided it
The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance and unacceptable impact on highway safety outweighed the benefits of housing delivery when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and highway safety, attracting significant weight, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate weight given to housing supply, economic benefits, and efficient land use, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
