Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with regard to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- Whether the proposed development would cause an increase in flooding
- Whether the proposed development would make acceptable provision for sustainable transport improvements and enhancements
- Whether the proposed development would make acceptable provision for the relocation of slow worms
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring amenity, future occupant living conditions, highway safety, sustainable transport provision, and biodiversity mitigation outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and site improvement.
