Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the conversion of the dwelling into two flats on the living conditions of the occupiers of the flats by way of internal space, cycle parking and noise
- The effects of the conversion of the dwelling into two flats on the character and appearance of the area around Locket Road
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide practical and fit-for-purpose accommodation due to the impractical cycle parking arrangements requiring cycles to be carried through the flats, combined with inadequate noise separation and a cluttered forecourt appearance.
