Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide suitable amenity space for Flat 3
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring residents in respect of light, outlook and privacy
- Car parking, highway safety and sustainable transport
- The provision of refuse and recycling storage
What decided it
The proposal fails on multiple material grounds including inadequate amenity space, unacceptable design harm to character and appearance, significant adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions, insufficient car parking provision with highway safety concerns, and non-compliant refuse storage location.
