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 occupiers of 12 Silverwood Close, with regard to privacy, noise and disturbance, and the provision of sufficient garden space
  • Highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan on three significant grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, and highway safety—and the adverse impacts substantially outweigh the moderate benefits of providing a new home in an accessible location.
