Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of future occupants of the building and occupants of 7 Myrtle Close, with particular regard to outlook and natural light and privacy, and outlook, respectively
  • whether the proposed development would give rise to vehicular conflict and inconvenience as a result of the proposed parking arrangements

What decided it

The proposal fails on three independent grounds: it is out of character with the local area, it would unacceptably harm the living conditions of future occupants and neighbours, and it cannot demonstrate adequate parking provision without compromising highway safety.
