Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Sutton A
Postcode: B77 2AZ

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with regards to light and outlook
whether the proposal would provide sufficient car and cycle parking, and linked to this, the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers outweighed the moderate housing benefit, with no material considerations justifying departure from the development plan.

The moderate housing benefit of nine single rooms was outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the significant diminishment of living conditions for neighbouring occupiers.
