Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular reference to the provision of private amenity space and housing density
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 59 Central Drive, with particular reference to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The proposed development would cause visual harm to the character and appearance of the area, fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to inadequate amenity space and increased housing density, and adversely affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact and loss of privacy.
