Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings, including trees
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 46 Orchard Avenue with particular regard to light and 6 Potters Close with particular regard to outlook
  • Whether adequate provision is made for car parking, vehicular access, safe pedestrian access and cycle parking within the site
  • Whether adequate provision is made on site for the storage of refuse and recycling

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, combined with inadequate car parking provision, was not outweighed by the limited housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
