Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate surface water drainage
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 123 and 125 Bath Road with particular regard to noise and disturbance and the adequacy of outdoor space
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing built development into an undeveloped enclave, eroding its openness and verdant quality, which conflict with Policies CS 14 and CS 19 of the development plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS 14, Policy CS 19, Policy CS 16, saved Policy OVS6
