Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of No 51, No 51a and No 51b Salcot Crescent with particular reference to outlook
- whether the proposal would provide sufficient family accommodation
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and family accommodation provision—with no material considerations to indicate a decision otherwise than in accordance with the plan.
