Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the setting of the Station Approach Local Heritage Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to light

What decided it

The proposal accords with the development plan and material considerations, including the Framework's requirement for a flexible approach to daylight and sunlight guidance where this would enable efficient use of a site and provide acceptable living standards.
