Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers in relation to outdoor amenity space provision, natural light and outlook
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Highway and pedestrian safety in relation to visibility from the proposed access
What decided it
The proposal conflicted with development plan policies on multiple grounds: inadequate outdoor amenity space for a large family dwelling, poor design quality incompatible with local character, and inadequate highway visibility creating pedestrian safety risks.
