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
