Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 5 Primrose Lane with specific regard to privacy and overlooking
- Whether the proposal would provide sufficient and suitably accessible off-street parking
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three grounds—harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling, harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of privacy and overlooking, and failure to provide suitably accessible parking—with no material considerations indicating a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.
