Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon highway safety
- the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of Sea Glimpse, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would increase traffic movements along Rosea Bridge Lane that would be likely to pose an unacceptable risk to highway safety, notwithstanding improvements to the road condition and the benefits of providing an additional housing unit in a location lacking a five-year supply.
The adverse impacts relating to highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of providing one additional housing unit and limited economic advantages when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
Framework references: 11, 60, 110, 111
