Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 4 Beechlands Close with particular regard to privacy, outlook and daylight, and the occupiers of numbers 17 and 18 Beechlands Court with particular regard to outlook, daylight and noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to internal space standards
What decided it
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, and inadequate internal space standards significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of a single dwelling in a location with good access to services.
