Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with regard to privacy in respect of 217 The Ridgeway, and noise and disturbance in respect of adjacent properties
  • Whether or not the proposed development would provide acceptable living accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to quality and quantity of internal living accommodation and outlook
  • Whether or not the appeal site is an appropriate location for the development proposed, with particular regard to access to services and facilities

What decided it

The materially intensified pattern of occupation by up to 10 independent adults would cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions and the site's poor accessibility to services, facilities and transport combined with inadequate internal living standards for future occupiers rendered the proposal contrary to the development plan.
