Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents, with particular regard to internal ceiling heights
  • whether the proposed development would provide an appropriate number of car parking spaces
  • the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity

What decided it

The proposed developments would harm the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents through their unsympathetic scale, form and design in relation to the prevailing inter-war suburban character, and through noise and disturbance from parking spaces adjacent to a neighbouring bungalow.
