Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including the setting and significance of the adjacent non-designated heritage asset known as Taymount Grange
- Highway safety with particular reference to the proposed delivery and servicing strategy
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset Taymount Grange, combined with the highway safety concerns regarding the servicing strategy, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
