Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
whether the proposal is required to make provision for on-going access to the rear garden area for the residents of West Heath Place, for not carrying out the development approved by permission F/05021/10, and for associated monitoring costs
the effect of the proposed development on highway safety and whether adequate provision would be made for access for emergency services

What decided it
