Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision towards car club membership and sustainable transport initiatives in the vicinity to alleviate traffic generation created by the development
- Whether adequate provision is made for car parking, vehicular access, safe pedestrian access and cycle parking within the site
What decided it
The harm caused to the character and appearance of the area by the detached dwelling, particularly its prominent forward positioning, cramped appearance, incongruous design and inappropriate materials, combined with the failure to secure a Section 106 obligation for car club memberships, was significant and led to conflict with the development plan as a whole.
