Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the area
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed dwellings and maintained for neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to privacy and noise
- The effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety with particular regard to the adequacy of visibility, parking and manoeuvring opportunities for vehicles
What decided it
The proposal failed on three independent grounds: harm to character and appearance through incongruous contemporary design, unacceptable loss of privacy through elevated rear terraces, and highway safety concerns arising from impeded visibility and inadequate parking and manoeuvring arrangements.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy Part 1 Local PlanPolicy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
