Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on highway safety resulting from inability to achieve the required visibility splays at the site access, which constituted an overriding concern and conflict with development plan policy.
the adverse impacts of granting planning permission, including the identified conflict with development plan policy on highway safety, would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing supply and economic benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
Framework references: 11, 12, 130
