Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to size, scale, siting and impact on trees

- whether the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety, or the residual impact on the road network would be severe, with particular regard to access and car parking
- whether the location of the proposal would provide suitable access to services and facilities for future occupiers
What decided it
The cumulative effect of significant harm to character and appearance, failure to provide a suitable mix of residential units, and unresolved highway safety concerns regarding access and parking provision outweighed the moderate benefits of housing supply and economic benefits.
