Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 23 and 24 The Circle with particular regard to outlook, privacy and the provision of outdoor amenity space
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of the flats proposed with regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, living conditions of existing neighbours, and inadequate amenity space for future occupiers—with no material considerations to justify approval.
