Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The proposed development would obscure visibility for vehicles exiting the private road and parking area, creating an unacceptable increased risk of collision with pedestrians, and the absence of a required site-specific flood risk assessment meant the flood risk implications could not be properly assessed.
