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 road user safety, with particular regard to access and parking arrangements
  • whether the development would expose future occupiers to an unacceptable fire safety risk
  • the effect of the proposal on protected trees
  • the effect of the proposed development on ecology
  • whether the proposal would provide suitable carbon reduction measures

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan across multiple material considerations—character and appearance, road safety, fire safety, protected trees, ecology and carbon reduction—with no material considerations indicating the appeal should be decided otherwise.
