Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of occupiers at Bolt View having regard to privacy and noise
  • The living conditions of occupiers at 25 Court Park having regard to outlook and light

What decided it
