Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide adequate car parking arrangements and the effect on highway and pedestrian safety
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy and the provision of private outdoor space
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to privacy, light and the provision of private outdoor space

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, highway safety, parking provision, and neighbouring privacy, particularly the unacceptable overlooking from Plot 1, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan taken as a whole with no material considerations to outweigh this.
