Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the supply of housing within the Borough
  • Highway Safety
  • The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The loss of residential accommodation and the unresolved highway safety concerns, particularly the lack of safe access and the conflict with vulnerable road users on a busy Red Route, meant the development conflicted with the development plan taken as a whole with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this.

The acceptable impact on living conditions of neighbours was outweighed by the harm to housing supply and highway safety, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify the appeal
