Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The significant harms to character and appearance and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery under the tilted balance.
The moderate benefit of providing one additional dwelling and modest economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable impact on highway safety, such that the presumption in favour of development did not apply.
