Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
  • whether the proposal would accord with the development plan policies with regard to highway safety and parking stress

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, and highway safety and parking—with no material considerations justifying departure from the plan.
