Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 63 and 67 Hafton Road, and 28 and 30 Hazelbank Road, with particular regard to outlook
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers, with particular regard to external amenity space provision and privacy

What decided it

The proposal's failure to relate successfully to the existing design quality of the streetscape and its unacceptable overbearing effect on neighbouring outlook, combined with inadequate private amenity space for future occupiers, resulted in multiple breaches of the development plan that could not be overcome.
