Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the scheme provides access for everyone
- Whether or not there would be a change in residential character to the local area
- Whether or not there would be a highway safety danger to the local area
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene with regards to the extensions
- Whether or not there would be a harmful effect on street trees as a consequence of the proposed extensions
What decided it
The combination of lack of inclusive access for all users, the intensive use generating undue noise and disturbance to the residential character of the area, and the highway safety impacts from vehicular intensification could only be adequately safeguarded by refusal of planning permission.
