Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of adjacent dwellings, in particular 9 Great Heads Road, with regard to overlooking and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The building's design and positioning, combined with the limited size of the holiday let and restricted window arrangement, would prevent significant overlooking and noise impacts on the adjacent dwelling.
