Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on highway safety
The effect of the proposal on flood risk
The effect of the proposal on carbon emissions

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole in respect of character and appearance, highway safety, and flood risk, and the tilted balance is not engaged because the proposal fails to meet Framework policies on flood risk.

The benefits of providing two new dwellings in a sustainable location were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, unacceptable highway safety impacts, and undemonstrated flood risk mitigation.
