Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effects of the proposal on highway safety and convenience
- effects of the proposal on character and appearance of the locality
- effects of the proposal on living conditions for neighbours
- effects of the proposal on living conditions for future residents
What decided it
The proposal would unduly impact upon highway safety and convenience by failing to incorporate a turning area that was inextricably linked to an approved adjacent residential conversion.
The modest contribution to housing land supply did not outweigh the concerns in relation to highway safety and convenience.
