Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to the provision of private amenity space
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 97 Devonshire Road, with particular reference to privacy and outlook
  • Whether the proposal would provide appropriate landscaping
  • Whether the proposal would provide sustainable drainage

What decided it

The unacceptable loss of privacy and daylight for future occupiers from the adjacent Fox Pub development, combined with significant overlooking harm to the neighbouring property at 97 Devonshire Road, constituted substantial conflict with the development plan that could not be overcome by material considerations.
