Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three material grounds—character and appearance, living conditions of neighbours, and highway safety—with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these harms.
