Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, in particular regard to outdoor garden space
  • highway safety, in particular regard to visibility splays

What decided it

The proposed development would conflict with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, and highway safety—with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
