- the living conditions of the occupiers of 11 and 15 Rosemead with particular regard to noise and disturbance (both appeals)
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the dwellings served by the existing access with particular regard to congestion and convenience (both appeals)
- the living conditions of the future occupiers of house type B with particular regard to the size of the bedrooms and storage space (Appeal A only)
What decided it
The adverse impacts of the proposals on character and appearance and on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited housing benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
the modest housing benefits of two or three units were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by harmful effects on character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
