Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable location for housing with respect to the Council's spatial strategy
- The effect of the proposal on protected species, with particular regard to nesting birds and bats
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for occupiers of 39 Crowland Road and future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, with particular regard to noise
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate car parking arrangements for the existing dwelling at No 39 and the effect on highway safety
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the Council's spatial strategy as market housing outside the settlement boundary and would fail to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to noise from neighbouring commercial uses, with unresolved effects on protected species.
