Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of Pamela Hay House (49 Belgrave Gardens) with regard to outlook
  • Whether the proposal would be acceptable in respect of flood risk and surface water drainage

The unacceptable adverse impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of Pamela Hay House with regard to outlook and sense of enclosure, which would be long lasting and contrary to the NPPF objectives, outweighed the identified benefits of the proposal.
