Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on highway safety, with regard to junction visibility
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development creates inherently unsafe conditions at the junction through interference with visibility and has a stark, visually harmful effect on the rural character of the village edge, both of which are decisive adverse effects that cannot be adequately mitigated.
