- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 56 Woodhurst Road, with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to vehicular access and egress
What decided it
The proposal fails on multiple grounds including unacceptable effects on character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, loss of family housing mix, harm to neighbouring amenity, and highway safety concerns that cannot be overcome.
