Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the location would be suitable for the proposed development, having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities and the provisions of the development plan
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, and privacy
  • the effect of the proposal on ecology

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—unsuitability of location, highway safety concerns, harm to neighbouring living conditions, and inadequate ecological information—with no material considerations outweighing these conflicts.
