Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the existing flats and 3 The Avenue, having particular regard to outlook and light
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal living space and external amenity space
- whether the proposal would provide suitable parking arrangements and the effect on the local highway network
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of existing occupiers through loss of outlook and light, fail to meet space standards for future occupiers, and create an unacceptable impact on highway safety.
