Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the existing building, with particular regard to the proposed design and pedestrian access
- The effects of the development proposed on the living conditions of occupiers of 14 and 15 Hardy Way, with regard to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposed development would result in the loss of a family sized housing unit
What decided it
The development would not harm the character and appearance of the existing building and would not unduly affect living conditions of neighbouring occupiers when subject to a landscaping condition, whilst the existing unit was not a family dwelling so no family housing would be lost.
