Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed dwelling on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.36 Bury Road in respect of the provision and quality of amenity space
  • the effect of no off-street parking provision on highway safety in Bury Road

What decided it

The proposal would result in unacceptable harm across all three main issues—character and appearance, living conditions, and highway safety—with no material considerations sufficient to justify departure from the development plan.
