Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • 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 the occupiers of 2 Grasmere Road, with particular regard to sunlight and daylight, and noise and disturbance
  • Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outdoor space and accessibility
  • The effect of the proposal on sustainable transport, with particular regard to parking
  • The effect of the proposed development on biodiversity and trees

What decided it

The failure to secure a legal agreement preventing CPZ parking permits and funding a car club, combined with the unmitigated loss of sunlight and daylight to the neighbouring property, meant the development conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
