Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would be acceptable in terms of its accessibility
- Effects on highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision, site access and sight lines, as well as cycle and refuse arrangements
- Effects on sustainable transport measures
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous massing, hard surfacing and backland development pattern, combined with inadequate accessibility to rear dwellings and unresolved highway safety concerns regarding site access and servicing arrangements.
