Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide suitable living conditions for the future occupiers of the residential accommodation with particular regard to noise
- 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 the occupiers of nearby residential properties at Wellington Mews, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The absence of substantiated technical information demonstrating that suitable living conditions could be achieved for future residential occupiers, combined with the proposed building's poor design integration and lack of architectural coherence in the street scene, rendered the development unacceptable despite other compliant aspects.
