Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the local area
- Whether or not it would result in a highway safety concern
- Whether the proposal would deliver biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The proposal would conflict with the development plan as a whole, failing to safeguard character and appearance, highway safety, and biodiversity net gain, with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts.
