Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Living conditions for occupiers of the existing dwelling at No 19 Hobart Road, with particular regard to noise and similar disturbance

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's poor design and siting, which would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and would cause unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the modest housing benefit.
