Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants
- the effect of the proposed roof terrace on the living conditions of the occupants of surrounding residential properties with regard to noise, disturbance, and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety and sustainable travel choices with regard to parking
What decided it
The proposed dwelling fails to meet the minimum floor-to-ceiling height standards required by policy, and the absence of a completed legal agreement to secure car-free status and car club membership makes the development unacceptable.
Plan policies cited: Policy H2, Policy H5, Policy H6, Policy Q2, Policy Q5, Policy Q8, Policy Q11, Policy T6
