Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal upon highway safety
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for accessible housing
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of refuse and recycling facilities
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, highway safety, accessible housing, and refuse facilities—with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these conflicts.
