- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The significant harm to living conditions of future residents of dwelling A and to highway safety substantially and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing supply and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The adverse impacts of the proposed development, comprising significant harm to living conditions and highway safety, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of modest housing supply contribution and short-term employment, such that the proposal does not represent sustainable development and the presumption in favour does not apply.
