Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- highway safety with particular reference to parking and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists
- the living conditions of future occupants, with particular regard to outlook, privacy and noise
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, highway safety, and living conditions of future occupants, which was not outweighed by the appellant's cited benefits of sustainable location and housing delivery.
