Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is an appropriate location for the proposal with particular regard to local and national policy on flood risk
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Nos 76 and 80 Kings Road, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight, and noise and disturbance

What decided it
