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
