Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposal on the setting and garden size of the existing dwelling

What decided it

The unacceptable effect on highway safety arising from the location of the access on a busy road with high traffic volumes and limited gaps in the traffic flow, combined with accident data indicating a high accident rate for this section of road.

The limited benefits of delivering one additional dwelling and associated economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the unacceptable adverse impacts to highway safety.
