Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
  • highway and pedestrian safety, having particular regard to parking provision
  • the integrity of habitats sites

What decided it

The combination of unacceptable harmful effects on character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, highway and pedestrian safety, and adverse effects on habitats sites integrity, which together amount to great weight in opposition and outweigh the modest housing benefits.

The modest housing benefits (9 dwellings) and contributions to housing supply, housing choice and local economy were given moderate weight in favour, but were substantially outweighed by the great weight of adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions, highway and pedestrian safety, and habitats sites integrity, resulting in conflict with the development plan as a whole.
