Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on highway safety having particular regard to the use of the access, visibility, turning facilities and parking
The effect of the proposed development on the overall character of the access

What decided it

The additional traffic generated by 3 dwellings over and above 5 properties would not be significant and would not materially exacerbate the existing situation, combined with the proposed access improvements and adequate parking provision, meant highway safety would not be unacceptably affected.

Framework references: 111

Plan policies cited: Policy TR2, Policy DS4

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
