Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on highway safety and transport
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 21, 23 and 89 Thirlmere Gardens
  • The effect on flood risk
  • The effect on biodiversity

What decided it

The unjustified loss of part of the designated Neighbourhood Green Space and the resulting harm to the character and appearance of the area, combined with harm to highway safety through inadequate parking provision, brought the proposal into conflict with the development plan.
