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 3, 5, 7 and 7a Golf Ride with particular regard to outlook and privacy
  • the effect of the proposal on flood risk with particular regard to surface water drainage
  • the effect of the proposal on the safety and convenience of users of the adjacent highway network with particular regard to the adequacy of the access arrangements for delivery, servicing and emergency vehicles

What decided it

The previous planning permission for 2 bungalows on the site established the principle of rear development and provided a material comparison showing that the proposed 3 dwellings would not result in significantly different impacts.

The benefits of residential development on an underutilised site in an existing residential area, with effective use of land and compliance with density standards, outweighed the concerns about increased built form, which were mitigated by appropriate spacing, design, and conditions.
