Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- highway safety, with particular regard to parking

- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to privacy and the acoustic environment
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, highway safety, living conditions of future occupiers, and neighbouring amenity significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefit when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
