Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on highway safety with regard to pedestrians
  • Whether the personal circumstances of the appellant outweigh any harm in respect of the development

What decided it

The development significantly harms both the character and appearance of the area and highway safety, with the obscured visibility splays at the corner junction creating conditions detrimental to pedestrian safety that cannot be justified by the appellant's personal circumstances.
