Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers in respect of accessibility
  • the living conditions of the occupier of 5 Church Road in respect of any loss of outlook
  • highway safety

What decided it

The harmful effect on character and appearance through cramped, overdeveloped layout and the failure to meet accessibility requirements for future occupiers outweighed the benefits of additional housing delivery.
