Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers with particular regard to whether there would be an overbearing effect
- Transport in respect of whether the proposed development would function well with regard to access to and from Marefield Road, and the living conditions of existing occupiers with particular regard to parking
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harmfully overbearing effect on neighbouring occupiers combined with the failure to provide suitable access for service vehicles to function well on a daily basis outweighed the modest benefits of the development.

- Development plan policies
- CP9DM35DM33
