  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of future occupiers of the development, having regard to private and communal outdoor amenity space, noise impacts and air quality
  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of the occupiers of 105 Bournemouth Road and 331 Leigh Road, having regard to privacy impacts
  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the appeal scheme provides adequate access and on-site parking, having regard to the transport needs of the development and highway safety
  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the integrity of European Protected Sites (EPS)

What decided it

The significant and demonstrable harm to the living conditions of future occupiers and neighbours, combined with substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area, outweighed the benefits of providing 8 additional housing units and made the proposal unsustainable.
