Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to highway safety from increased use of a sub-standard access and inadequate parking provision outweighs the limited housing and conservation benefits, even under the tilted balance test.
The adverse impacts of granting permission (highway safety harm) significantly and demonstrably outweigh the individual and cumulative benefits (housing supply, conservation benefits, economic contribution), when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole
