Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 28, 30A and 32 Avenue Road with regard to noise and disturbance, outlook and privacy

What decided it
The modest scale and high-quality design of the proposed staircase, combined with the presence of similar external staircases already existing in the area, meant it would not adversely affect neighbouring living conditions or the character and appearance of the locality.
