Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of The Green Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of 16 Elm Road in terms of outlook
- Whether the proposed development provides acceptable living conditions for future occupants with specific regard to outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the conservation area, living conditions of neighbouring residents, and failure to demonstrate safe parking operations outweighed the moderate benefits of providing additional residential units in a sustainable location.
