Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to noise, outlook and light
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 25 Station Road, with particular regard to loss of light and outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to noise and the requirement for windows to remain closed, combined with harm to neighbouring amenity and character and appearance, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest housing contribution.
The modest contribution of four one-bedroom apartments was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to living conditions of future occupiers, harm to character and appearance, and unacceptable harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions.
