Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposed development, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the requirements of Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) are relevant to the proposed development and, if so, whether such requirements are met
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The unacceptable impact on highway safety from the shared access arrangement and the inadequate living conditions for future occupiers due to traffic noise in the private garden area were the decisive factors that led to dismissal.
