Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers regarding outlook
- whether the proposal would provide sufficient car parking in the interests of highway safety
- whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle storage
- whether the proposal would sufficiently address fire safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance combined with inadequate living conditions for one dwelling unit and insufficient fire safety provisions outweighed the moderate benefits of housing provision.
