Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- highway safety and the free flow of traffic
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits, even under the tilted balance triggered by the shortfall in five-year housing land supply.
The modest housing benefits and energy conservation matters were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and highway safety, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
