Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the housing mix of Glenthorn Road and the surrounding area
- the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to living conditions of local residents
What decided it
The appeal proposal would erode the availability of family housing and weaken the housing mix balance within the street, whilst creating a reasonable prospect of material harm to the living conditions of local residents through noise and disturbance, conflicting with the development plan taken as a whole.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SC1CS9CS14DM23
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
