Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties
  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of future occupiers including quality of amenity space and fire safety
  • the effect of the appeal scheme on highway safety
  • arrangements for refuse disposal
  • protected species with particular regard to bats
  • highway infrastructure

What decided it

The extent of the scheme's failings against adopted policy, which cannot be addressed through the submission of further details, overcomes any benefits arising from six additional dwellings.

The benefits of six additional dwellings were outweighed by the cumulative policy conflicts relating to overlooking, amenity space quality, fire safety, highway safety, refuse storage, and the absence of planning obligations.
