Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 110 and 112 High Street, with particular regard to privacy
  • The effect of the proposed parking arrangement on highway safety

What decided it

The substantial harms to character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of one dwelling when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
