Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the new development with regard to private amenity space provision and privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the effect on the Lexden Conservation Area and a locally listed heritage asset
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to living conditions from inadequate and poor quality private amenity space, combined with harm to the conservation area and highway safety concerns, outweighed the modest benefits of the scheme.
