Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable access to services and facilities by means of transport other than the private car
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the property with respect to daylight
- whether the development would result in undue risk to human health or to other relevant receptors, arising from contamination of the land
- whether the proposal would have an acceptable effect on highway safety
What decided it
The adverse effect on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the listed building Sparrows Cottage, combined with the failure to provide acceptable access to services and facilities by means of transport other than the private car, were decisive in dismissing the appeal.
