Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on land instability
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 20-30 (even) Merton Avenue, 31-43 Kirby Road (odd) and 23 Church Avenue with regard to potential noise and general disturbance
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area due to its scale and bulk being atypical of the surrounding residential context, and there was insufficient information to confirm the site was suitable for the proposed use taking account of potential land instability.
