Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on the Chichester Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 2 The Gardens in relation to outlook
  • whether the proposal would have a significant adverse effect, either alone or in combination with other plans and projects, on the integrity of European nature conservation sites

What decided it

The proposal complies with the development plan policies requiring high design standards and conservation of the Conservation Area character, and the ecological mitigation measures secured through the unilateral undertaking and conditions adequately protect European nature conservation sites.

Plan policies cited: Policy 33, Policy 47, Policy 49, Policy 50, Policy 51
