Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal satisfies the requirement for biodiversity net gain (BNG)
  • the effect of the proposal on on-street parking and the highways network

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan due to harm to the character and appearance of the Area of Special Local Character and failure to satisfy the statutory requirement for biodiversity net gain, and material considerations do not indicate a decision should be taken otherwise.
