Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to floorspace, storage provision, outside space and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the residents of 33 Hamilton Road, with particular regard to noise disturbance
- the effect of the proposed refuse storage arrangements on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in respect of floorspace, storage, outside space and privacy, and would harm the character and appearance of the area through refuse storage arrangements.
The benefits of housing provision were afforded limited weight and did not outweigh the harm to living conditions and character and appearance.
