Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to the proximity of the ground floor bedroom window to the public highway
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the proposal would increase pressure on the controlled parking zone (CPZ)
What decided it
The proposal accords with the development plan and provides additional housing in a manner consistent with existing development and policy aims, with all material concerns addressed through design, conditions and a section 106 undertaking.
The need for additional housing, supported by national, regional and local policy, was balanced against design and amenity concerns, with the latter satisfactorily addressed through the proposal's scale, siting, conditions and the parking undertaking.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM D2, Policy CS14, Policy DM T3, Policy CS20
