Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of residents of Units 1H and 1J, with particular regard to the quality of the buildings and standards for residential accommodation
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the extension to the rear outbuilding
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of residents of Flat 1B No 1 Coronation Villas and No 2 Coronation Villas, with particular regard to outlook and daylight/sunlight
- the effect of the development on the availability of on-street car parking in the vicinity, and the effect of the lack of cycle parking on sustainable travel options for residents
- the need of the occupiers of Units 1H and 1J for the dwellings, with regard to their personal circumstances
What decided it
The poor quality of residential accommodation, harm to neighbouring living conditions, parking stress, and character harm substantially outweigh the housing need of the occupiers, making the development unacceptable except for the severable extension which can be retained for non-residential use.
