Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupiers with particular regard to noise, privacy and outlook
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Burslem Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of future occupiers through inadequate noise attenuation and lack of privacy for the main living area of flat one, which could not be adequately overcome by condition.
