Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at 1 Bohemia Road, with regard to outlook and dominance
The appearance of the area, with regards to the proposed bin store

What decided it

The daylight and sunlight study demonstrating no significant loss of light to the neighbouring property, combined with the oblique angle of views and comparable building heights along the street, meant the development would not cause material harm to neighbouring living conditions or the appearance of the area.

The development accords with the development plan when taken as a whole, with no material considerations indicating otherwise.
