Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions for the occupiers of Nos. 8 & 9 Bridgefield Close as regards noise, disturbance and privacy

What decided it

The rearward position of the development and the existing medium density character of Bridgefield Close, combined with the absence of significant harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the Council's objections and justified allowing the appeal.
