Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it

Under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, the adverse impacts of granting permission (harm to living conditions, highway safety and biodiversity) would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of two dwellings and associated economic benefits, such that the proposal would not represent sustainable development.
