Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of off-street car parking and access onto Ingrave Road
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance combined with highway safety concerns substantially outweighed the modest housing benefit, particularly given the conflict with development plan policies consistent with the Framework.
The conflict with the development plan and the identified harms to character, appearance and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and efficient site use, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
