Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would include appropriate measures for surface water drainage
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residential properties through noise and disturbance from vehicles using the proposed access, which could not be adequately mitigated given the proximity of the access to the neighbouring property and uncertainty about future intensification of use.
