Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- Whether the site location is suitable for residential development, having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including landscape character
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of Leasghyll Barn with particular regard to privacy of their outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The severely restricted visibility at the existing access point, particularly to the south, would create an unacceptable impact on highway safety that cannot be adequately mitigated and conflicts with Policy CS10.2 and paragraph 115 of the Framework.
