Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to parking stress, noise and disturbance
- whether or not the proposed development would achieve acceptable living conditions for its future occupants, with particular regard to outlook and natural light in the proposed basement living space, and internal living space and natural light within the proposed attic bedrooms
What decided it
The intensity of use of the rear garden by ten or twelve occupants would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with respect to noise and disturbance, and attic room 2 would not provide acceptable living space for future occupants.
