Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the increased massing on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential units at Chocolate Studios and 18-28 Westland Place, with specific regard to daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The proposed development would create an unacceptable loss of daylight and sunlight to occupiers of neighbouring properties, resulting in harm to their living conditions that conflicts with development plan policy and cannot be outweighed by the benefits of additional visitor accommodation.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- LP2LP25Policy D6
