Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposed unit with particular reference to their private internal space
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the residential occupiers within the adjacent Ballards Lane property and, for the future occupiers of the proposed unit with particular reference to privacy
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupiers of the proposed unit and for the residential occupiers within the adjacent Ballards Lane property with particular reference to their private outside space
- The effects of the proposed parking space upon the use of the driveway area at neighbouring 40 Rosemont Avenue and the safety of highway users
What decided it
The cumulative effect of deficiencies in private internal space (ceiling height below policy standards), unacceptable loss of privacy between the proposed and adjacent residential properties, and the potential impediment to the neighbouring driveway use outweighed any benefits and conflicted with the development plan.
