Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- whether the proposed flat would provide an adequate standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with regard to external amenity space, privacy and overall size
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with regard to privacy, daylight and outlook
- the effect on parking
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for waste and recycling collections
What decided it
The proposal breaches multiple development plan policies regarding character and appearance, standard of accommodation, living conditions of neighbours, and parking provision, with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal was found to be contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh the conflicts.
