Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the development, having particular regard to relevant provisions of the development plan
- the effect of the development on the character and the appearance of the area, having regard to whether it constitutes high quality design
- whether the development provides for suitable turning facilities for vehicles, having particular regard to highway safety
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having particular regard to noise associated with the means of access
What decided it
The demonstrable harm to character and appearance through poor design and the inadequate turning facilities prejudicing highway safety, when weighed against the benefits of one dwelling, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
The benefits of housing supply and support for local services were outweighed by demonstrable harm to character and appearance and inadequate highway safety provisions; the adverse effects significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against Framework policies taken as a whole.
