Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on parking and highway safety
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for public open space

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the Development Plan on multiple substantial grounds (character and appearance, privacy, parking and highway safety, and public open space provision) with no material considerations indicating a decision other than in accordance with the Development Plan.
