Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Bray Court, with particular regard to communal amenity space
  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal storage, noise and disturbance, and levels of sunlight and daylight
  • the effect of the proposal upon biodiversity
  • the effect of the proposal upon existing trees
  • the effect of the proposal on the operation of the highway network with particular regard to parking provision

What decided it

The proposal would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Bray Court through the loss of significant communal amenity space, which alone was sufficient to warrant dismissal.
