Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of its surroundings
  • The effect of the proposals on pedestrian safety
  • The weight other material considerations attract

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with development plan policies protecting the open space and highway safety, and the material consideration of disabled access needs was not sufficiently evidenced to outweigh these conflicts.
