Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of neighbours including the neighbouring nursery operation, with particular regard to outlook and overlooking
- The living conditions of future occupants, with particular regard to outlook, private space, access, accessibility, security and fire safety
- Site layout with particular regard to refuse provision, cycle storage, delivery/servicing and highway improvements
What decided it
The substantial and long-lasting harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of both neighbours and future occupants outweighed the moderate benefits of providing seven new residential units.
