Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character of the area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal would not materially alter the character of the area given the property's size, the mixed character already present in the spur, and the discretion of cycle and refuse storage provision, combined with the absence of unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions when compared to the potential occupancy of the existing 5-bedroom house.
