Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 5 Bramley Avenue with particular regard to outlook
- whether or not the proposed access and parking arrangements would be acceptable with specific regard to the level and accessibility of parking provision
- whether or not living conditions for future occupiers of the development would be acceptable with particular regard to outlook and light
- whether or not provision for cycle storage would be acceptable
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, combined with unacceptable parking provision, outweighed the limited benefit of 8 additional dwellings.
The benefits of housing delivery and effective site use were outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance, harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of outlook, and unacceptable parking arrangements.
