- The effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the Wooler Conservation Area
What decided it
The problematic and unacceptable site access arrangements during the construction phase of the proposed dwelling, which would cause harmful disruption to local residents and highway users, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and the suitability of the dwelling for a disabled elderly occupant.
The benefits of housing delivery, self-build provision and suitability for a disabled elderly person were outweighed by the harm arising from construction phase site access arrangements which would be problematic and unacceptable.
