Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would accord with local policies with regard to location
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to parking, servicing and construction logistics
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight, privacy and noise/disturbance
- whether the proposal would accord with local policies with regards to highway infrastructure and climate change
What decided it
The considerable adverse effects on character and appearance, location policy compliance, highway safety, and neighbouring living conditions were not outweighed by the modest benefits of brownfield redevelopment and employment generation.
