Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether the development would be consistent with national and local planning policies relating to flood risk
- whether the proposal would provide a net gain in biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through an urbanising effect in the elevated northern section, combined with unresolved highway safety concerns regarding visibility splays and the absence of a required flood risk assessment.
