Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposal on character and appearance of the area
- Effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through excessive bulk and massing, combined with unresolved highway safety concerns regarding parking provision near the junction, outweighed the limited benefits of providing a single additional dwelling.
The limited benefits of providing an additional dwelling to assist with housing targets were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance and highway safety when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole.
