Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Mannamead Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of off-street car parking
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No's 14-22 Mutley Road, with particular regard to privacy
  • whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular regard to the provision of outdoor space
  • the effect of the proposal on trees and biodiversity
  • the effect of the development on nationally and internationally protected sites

What decided it

The proposal accords with the permission in principle which had already established the suitability of the location, land use and amount of development, and the technical details do not reopen those matters but satisfy the remaining detailed considerations regarding character, highways, amenity, trees and ecology.
