Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the living conditions of occupiers of No. 56A Sevington Road, with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The proposal would unacceptably intensify the occupation and use of the property, resulting in a marked increase in activity and comings and goings that would harm the prevailing residential character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise, disturbance and overlooking.
