Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupies at No's 8 and 14-16 Lorne Park Road with regard to overlooking and outlook
- whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular regard to outlook and the provision of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to the provision of footways and the encouragement of walking
- the effect of the proposal on flood risk with particular regard to surface water drainage
- the effect on nationally and internationally protected sites
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's design, including the stepped frontage, recessed upper floor and compatible architectural treatment, would enhance the character and appearance of the area whilst the mitigation measures secured through conditions and the legal agreement would address all identified concerns regarding neighbouring amenity, drainage and ecological impact.
