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 highway safety, with particular regard to the proposed access arrangements
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 35 and 37 Newtown Road, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
  • Whether the proposed new dwelling would provide for satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to external amenity space

What decided it

The adverse impacts of granting permission, comprising significant harm to character and appearance, highway safety and neighbouring occupiers' living conditions, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic activity.
