Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be acceptable having regard to local and national planning policies on the location of new housing
- Whether sufficient detail and information has been submitted of the proposed access arrangements to demonstrate that it would operate acceptably in relation to highway safety, that there is appropriate provision for servicing and fire safety, and the effect of the proposed access on neighbours living conditions
- Whether the proposal has adequately considered the implications for ecology and trees
What decided it
The failure to provide adequate information on access arrangements, highway and fire safety, and the absence of ecological and tree assessments meant the application did not demonstrate that seven detached dwellings could be acceptably accommodated on the site in accordance with development plan policies.
