Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- flood risk with specific regard to surface water
- the safe operation of the highway
What decided it
The adverse effects on character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions (outlook), and the absence of a required flood risk assessment outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
the limited benefits of two additional dwellings and associated economic benefits were outweighed by the harms to character and appearance, neighbouring outlook, and unresolved flood risk
