Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Burton-in-Kendal Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area's character and appearance that was not outweighed by public benefits, and would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety due to uncertainty about achieving required visibility splays.
