Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 19 St James's Road in respect of any loss of outlook and overshadowing
- The living conditions of future occupiers of the development
- Highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of future occupiers arising from substandard accommodation sizes and lack of amenity space, combined with unresolved highway safety concerns regarding parking demand, outweighed the benefit of adding 3 flatted units to the housing supply.
