Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal represents a suitable location for housing, having regard to relevant local and national policy and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed access on highway safety and the living conditions of residents on Masonic Lane

What decided it

The proposal would fail to constitute an 'appropriate location' under Policy SP3 by extending development as an isolated finger into the countryside, harming settlement form and character, and would cause unacceptable harm to highway safety and neighbours' living conditions through inadequate access.
