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 highway safety in respect of access
- whether accessible and convenient storage for waste would be provided
What decided it
The proposal fails on three independent grounds: unacceptable harm to character and appearance through intensification and creation of an obvious line of development; inability to demonstrate safe emergency vehicle access; and failure to provide accessible and convenient waste storage within the required distance.
