Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of No. 55 Priory Avenue and No. 56 Cedars Avenue with regard to light, outlook and privacy
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space
  • the effect of the development on car parking conditions and consequently highway safety
  • whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for refuse storage

What decided it

The proposal failed to accord with the development plan across multiple significant issues—character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, future occupier amenity, and parking—and no material considerations outweighed this harm.
