Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers in terms of internal floorspace provision, floor-to-ceiling heights, noise and disturbance, and provision of daylight and sunlight
  • whether the arrangements for the storage and collection of refuse for Unit 2 are suitable
  • the effect of the proposed development on on-street parking in the area

What decided it

The proposal accords with the development plan and would not cause unacceptable harm to character, living conditions, refuse arrangements or parking, and the site's urban accessibility and the retention of a rear garden for the existing property support the grant of permission.
