Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to daylight/sunlight and quality of the outdoor amenity area
- The effect of the proposed development on trees and ecology
- Whether the proposed development would incorporate adequate measures to deal with collection of refuse and recycling materials
- The effect of the proposed development on the public highway and its network during construction
- Whether the appellant has failed to enter into a legal agreement
What decided it
The proposed development would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area by introducing a standalone residential use with extensive site coverage that conflicts with the established pattern of development, which constitutes a conflict with the development plan that cannot be outweighed by material considerations.
