Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and other road users
- the adequacy of refuse disposal arrangements
- accessibility, permeability and movement
- the risk of localised surface water flooding at the appeal property and at neighbouring properties
What decided it
The significant harm to pedestrian and road user safety arising from the access configuration, combined with inadequate refuse disposal arrangements and harm to accessibility and permeability, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing provision even under the tilted balance test.
The moderate benefits of providing two additional dwellings and effective use of land were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to pedestrian and road user safety, inadequate refuse disposal arrangements, and harm to accessibility, permeability and movement.
