Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety with particular regard to the adequacy of access visibility
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 34 High Street with particular regard to traffic generation, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The inadequate access visibility at the junction, which would create an unacceptable risk of conflict with other users of High Street and adversely affect highway and pedestrian safety, conflicting with Policy TS3.
The modest benefits of providing a self-build dwelling and local economic contribution did not outweigh the significant harm to highway and pedestrian safety caused by inadequate access visibility.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy TS3Policy GC4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11Paragraph 188
