Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the living conditions of future occupiers would be acceptable, with particular regard to the internal living space
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of No 143A and No 147A Jubilee Road, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole due to harm to character and appearance from lack of bin storage and inadequate internal living space for the second bedroom, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these conflicts.
