Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the enjoyment of users of the adjacent outdoor learning space at Colverstone Primary School with particular regard to sunlight
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the St. Mark's Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed Colverstone Primary School with particular regard to its detailing, materials, and rear elevation
  • Whether suitable construction access could be provided taking account of the location of the site close to Ridley Road Market
