Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of neighbouring properties, particularly no. 32 Montcliffe Crescent, with regard to privacy, outdoor space, noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to internal space standards and outdoor space
  • The effect of the development on highway safety, with regard to parking provision
  • Whether there are other material considerations sufficient to outweigh any harm identified in respect of the above issues

What decided it

The development provides substandard internal and external accommodation that conflicts with development plan policies and guidance, and this harm cannot be outweighed by the personal circumstances of the current occupants.
