Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the location of the proposed development would be suitable, with particular regard to highway and pedestrian safety
  • Whether the proposed development would secure Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
  • Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for the occupants, with particular regard to the occupants safety

What decided it

The proposed development would fail to accord with the established pattern of development in the area, would not provide safe access for emergency vehicles or suitable refuse collection, would not secure biodiversity net gain, and would not provide safe living conditions due to the secluded and crime-affected nature of the access route.
