Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Oak Gardens and future occupants of the proposed studio in terms of privacy and fire safety
- whether the proposed development would deliver the required level of urban greening and a biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The harmful effect on living conditions through mutual overlooking and the absence of evidence demonstrating compliance with fire safety standards and environmental requirements rendered the proposal contrary to development plan policies.
