Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effects of the development proposed on living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties
- effects of the development proposed on highway safety, with particular regard to the availability of parking
- effects of the development proposed on the character of the area
What decided it
The proposed extensions would not increase the capacity of the dental surgery use, and a condition restricting the garden structure to storage would protect neighbouring living conditions, while the sustainable location and available parking meant highway safety would not be harmed.
