Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with regard to parking provision and highway manoeuvres for existing and future occupiers

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's incongruous siting and orientation, combined with the unacceptable highway safety implications arising from constrained parking and manoeuvring arrangements, rendered the development contrary to the development plan.
