What decided it

The unsafe access conditions at the Mill Road/B1145 junction, combined with the site's unsustainable location relative to services and the conflict with the development plan's spatial strategy, outweighed the benefits of housing supply and self-build provision.

The adverse impacts of the proposal's location, the development plan's approach to sustainable development, and unsafe highway access significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of providing an additional dwelling and self-build housing
