Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- Whether the need for the proposal outweighs the loss of general housing needs
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would generate significantly greater traffic movements than a residential dwelling but the existing access onto the busy A52 dual carriageway cannot safely accommodate this intensified use without demonstrated evidence of safe vehicle manoeuvres.
