Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its siting, scale and design
- Highway safety, with particular regard to visibility onto Rew Street
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Ecology and biodiversity, including protected species
- The Solent Special Protection Area (SPA)
What decided it
The proposal's modest scale of 5 additional units to an existing 21-unit park, combined with its well-contained siting largely hidden from public view and adequate separation from neighbouring properties, meant it would not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance, highway safety, living conditions, or designated ecological sites.
