Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect on the living conditions of nearby residents having regard to activity and disturbance
- whether or not it has been demonstrated that the proposal would have an acceptable effect on highway safety, having regard to parking provision
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, and highway safety/parking—with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh the identified harms.
