Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposal would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of private external amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety due to the narrow access being unable to accommodate larger vehicles turning around, combined with harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area through overdevelopment of the plot.
