Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to private amenity space and outlook
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal storage space, private amenity space, waste and recycling facilities
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate provision for car parking and cycle parking; and the effect of the proposal upon highway safety
What decided it
The combination of unacceptable harm to character and appearance through loss of the important gap between terraced rows, failure to provide adequate amenity space and parking for future occupiers, and highway safety concerns arising from the elimination of existing parking provision in an area of high parking stress.
