Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of adjoining occupiers
  • highway safety

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety, which significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use.

The benefits of housing delivery and efficient land use were outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions of occupiers, and highway safety, such that the proposal would not comprise sustainable development.
