Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 73a and 75a Victoria Road with particular reference to outlook and light, and with regards to No 73a, with particular reference to privacy, noise and disturbance from the proposed refuse and cycle store provision
- Whether future occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions in terms of outlook, natural light and external amenity provision
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of both existing neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers of the development, conflicting with the development plan taken as a whole.
