Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sutton Scotney Conservation Area (Appeals B and C only)
- the effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to access
- the effect of the development on the integrity of the Solent Special Protection Area
- whether the development makes adequate provision for the protection of hedgerows
What decided it
The access arrangements for all three proposals would create unacceptable highway safety risks due to compromised visibility splays at the junction of Station Drive with Wonston Road, exacerbated by visitor parking spaces blocking sightlines.
