Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the access on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • whether the development would provide suitable drainage

What decided it

The hedgerow section removed for the access does not make a significant contribution to landscape character due to its poor condition and gaps, and the access does not unacceptably erode the rural character of the area when viewed against the existing shared access point.
