Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the Yaxley Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 24 and 26 Main Street with particular reference to noise and disturbance and privacy
  • Whether the proposed development would provide for a safe access onto Main Street
  • The effect of the proposed development on retained trees
  • If any harm is caused in respect of the above issues whether such harm is outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances and need for the proposed development

What decided it

The cumulative harm to the conservation area character, living conditions of neighbours, and failure to provide safe access outweighed the personal circumstances of the appellant and the moderate benefits of providing one new dwelling.
