Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Rockingham Bridge Conservation Area
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 Lawn Road, as well as Nos. 1 and 5 Cross Road and the operations of the Nursery with particular reference to overlooking
- Whether the proposal provides acceptable cycle and parking arrangements including any effects on highway and pedestrian safety
- Whether the proposal provides acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to outlook, privacy, light and external amenity space
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the conservation area character and appearance, combined with unacceptable overlooking effects on neighbouring properties and highway safety concerns regarding the disabled parking arrangement, could not be outweighed by any public benefits of the development.
