Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to siting, design and layout
  • Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to privacy, outlook and garden size
  • The effect of the proposed development upon highway safety with particular regard to visibility splays

What decided it

The proposed access arrangements would not provide adequate visibility splays to meet Manual for Streets standards for a secondary distributor road, and this shortfall could not be reliably controlled or justified by the evidence presented.
