Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, having regard to parking provision and access arrangements
  • whether the proposed development would include suitable arrangements for surface water drainage
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision for Biodiversity Net Gain

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance of the area caused by the incongruous siting and orientation of the proposed dwelling, combined with inadequate parking provision adversely affecting highway safety, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no other considerations to justify permission.

Plan policies cited: Policy 28, Policy 7, Policy 9, Policy 36, Policy 37, Policy 32, Policy 26
