Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for residential development having regard to the development plan
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three grounds: it fails to meet the criteria for residential development where housing need has been exceeded, it would harm character and appearance through poor design integration, and it would compromise highway safety through inadequate parking and visibility arrangements.
