Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the quality of the living conditions and amenity of future occupants of the development
- whether the proposal would result in safe movement access/egress from the highway with regard to visibility splays, turning areas and fire emergency vehicle access
What decided it
The proposal fails to meet the quality of accommodation and design standards required for sustainable development, such that the modest contribution to housing supply cannot overcome the adverse effects on character and appearance and living conditions.
The modest contribution of the proposed dwelling to the housing supply was outweighed by the adverse effect on character and appearance of the area and the failure to provide satisfactory living conditions and amenity for future occupants.
