- Inspector
- De Freitas Terceiro P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the present occupiers of No 2 Pondhue Cottages, with particular reference to the provision of private outdoor space and outlook
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to the provision of private outdoor space and internal space
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan through harmful effects on character and appearance and highway safety, which are not outweighed by the limited housing benefit of a single dwelling.
