Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with regard to parking and turning
  • Whether sufficient information has been provided regarding the effect of the proposed development on protected species and provision for biodiversity net gain (BNG)
  • Whether the site can be adequately drained to avoid flood risk

What decided it

The lack of information about the demarcation of the access route across the frontage of No.74 and its implications for parking and highway safety, combined with the failure to demonstrate that 10% biodiversity net gain could be achieved, were serious planning objections that could not be overcome.
