Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would provide an adequate standard of accommodation to future occupiers, with particular regard to the amount and quality of the outside space proposed
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 20 St Annes Road, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, fail to provide adequate accommodation with sufficient outside space, and create highway safety risks through substandard parking and poor visibility, with these harms outweighing the limited housing benefits.
