Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property and the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Ross Road (No.3) with regard to noise, disturbance and privacy
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed flat with regard to privacy
- whether the proposal would have an acceptable effect on highway safety
- whether the proposal would have an acceptable effect on flood risk with specific reference to surface water drainage
What decided it
The material increase in noise, disturbance and loss of privacy to occupiers of the neighbouring dwelling No.3 from vehicular movements in the adjacent parking area, which could not be adequately mitigated by conditions, was the decisive factor in dismissing the appeal.
