Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the locality
  • the living conditions of the residents of 71 Jobs Lane, with particular regard to overlooking and loss of privacy, and prospective residents of the development in relation to on-site outdoor amenity space
  • highway safety and parking
  • local infrastructure

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the locality through poor design quality that conflicts with Policies DE1 and H3 of the development plan, and there are no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
