Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings in respect of noise and disturbance
- whether satisfactory living conditions would be created for future residents of the proposal in respect of internal communal space and external amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to the adequacy of car parking provision
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 16 Avondale Street in respect of outlook and privacy
What decided it
The introduction of a pedestrian access from Avondale Street immediately alongside the rear garden of 16 Avondale Street would result in potentially intensive and unpredictable pedestrian activity causing substantial and unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance.
