Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • the protection and enhancement of public rights of way (PROW)
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of numbers 14, 16, and 18 Hillside Close, with respect to privacy

What decided it

The increased use of Hardings Row by vehicles from the proposed dwelling would create unacceptable highway safety conflicts with pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians using the public right of way, combined with harm to neighbouring privacy through overlooking and overbearing impact.
