Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with specific reference to noise; air pollution; light; outlook; privacy and amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with specific reference to outlook; privacy; noise; and amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on the long-term viability of the adjacent car mechanic premises
- Whether reasonable carbon reductions have been achieved on site
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for carbon off-set contributions; demonstrates adherence to the Considerate Constructors Scheme; and restricts future occupiers from applying for parking permits
What decided it
The harmful effects on the living conditions of future occupiers regarding external noise levels, outlook and amenity space quality, combined with harm to character and appearance, outweighed the moderate benefits of providing 3 additional dwellings.
