Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- highway safety
What decided it
The revised site plan removing the driveway extension from Birney Edge eliminated the highway safety objection, and the proposed alterations, while substantial, would be compatible with the character of an area characterised by variety in dwelling sizes, designs, and roof styles.
