Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on amenity and public safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to amenity through its dominating and intrusive visual impact, and the assessment of public safety impacts was insufficiently robust to rule out distraction to road users.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DM6.3 of the North Tyneside Local Plan (2017)

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
