Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Hursley Conservation Area
- the safety of users of Port Lane and Heathcote Place
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole, particularly regarding character and appearance and highway safety, and there are no material considerations that would justify a decision contrary to the development plan.
The modest social, economic and environmental benefits of one additional dwelling in an area with a five-year housing supply were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and highway safety, resulting in conflict with the development plan.
