Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space provision and privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, and noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- The effect of the proposal on local drainage, and the risk of flooding
What decided it
The cumulative harm across multiple policy areas—particularly the character and appearance harm, inadequate living conditions for future and neighbouring occupiers, highway safety concerns, and unresolved drainage issues—meant there were no material considerations to outweigh the clear conflicts with the development plan.
