- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of nearby occupiers with regard to light and outlook
- The effect upon trees and wildlife
- The effect upon the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network
What decided it
The proposed car-free student accommodation would adversely affect the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network by generating parking stress on surrounding roads that are already heavily trafficked and constrained.
