Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development on the character and appearance of the building and street scene
- The living conditions of occupiers and neighbouring residents
- Highway safety
What decided it
The development causes significant harm to the character and appearance of the building and street scene, creates unacceptable loss of privacy for neighbouring residents through overlooking, and fails to provide adequate parking, generating highway safety risks, all of which conflict with the development plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy 6: Development on Unallocated Sites, Policy 29, Policy 31, Policy 16
