Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on the nearby conservation area and trees
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 2b High Beech, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and daylight
- The effect of the proposed development on sustainable travel and highway safety
- Whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for refuse storage
- The effect of the proposed development on local ecology and biodiversity
What decided it
The cumulative harm arising from inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, highway safety and sustainable travel concerns, refuse storage deficiencies, and unresolved ecology impacts outweighed any benefits, with the development conflicting with the development plan and no material considerations justifying approval.
