Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers, with respect to privacy and access to external amenity space
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 6a Nesbitt's Alley, with particular regard to privacy
- Whether the proposal would function well with respect to the provision of parking and the availability of on-street parking
What decided it
The proposal would create poor living conditions for future occupiers of the mews houses due to substantial enclosure and inadequate external amenity space, resulting in significant and demonstrable harm that conflicts with the development plan.
