Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory living environment for the intended occupiers of the development, having particular regard to the size of the accommodation
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of nos 174 and 176 New Road, having particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would create a cramped and congested form of development causing significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its overly intensive use of the constrained site, loss of vegetation, and failure to respect the established pattern of infill development in the locality.
