Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that the removal of condition 4 would have on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect that the removal of condition 4 would have on the living conditions of the occupiers of the host dwelling and the occupiers of the appeal building
- the effect that the removal of condition 4 would have on highway safety, with regard to the adequacy of the parking provision, and the potential for the displacement of vehicles on to the public highway
What decided it
The removal of condition 4 would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of occupiers through overlooking and privacy loss, and would harm the character and appearance of the area through garden subdivision, which together outweigh the modest housing benefits.
