Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the use of the proposed access on the safety of pedestrians using Marholm Road
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate car parking
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle and refuse storage facilities
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 64 Walton Park, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, highway safety, car parking provision, and cycle and refuse storage facilities, all contrary to the development plan, outweighed the neutral benefit of housing supply and the absence of harm to neighbouring outlook.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP16, Policy LP13, Policy LP17, Appendix C
