Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 24 Warham Road and 1 Barham Road, with regard to privacy and outlook
- effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to secure a legal agreement to deliver car-free development and sustainable transport contributions, combined with unacceptable harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupants, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
