Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, with regard to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, access to services and facilities and development plan policies
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development would harm highway safety due to restricted visibility at the access and would not be in an appropriate location due to harm to character and appearance and lack of accessibility by sustainable transport modes, conflicting with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 5, Policy 7, Policy 12, Policy 22, Policy 23, Policy 27
