Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the development and the occupiers of the upper floor flats on Ballards Lane, to the rear of appeal property, with particular regard to privacy
- whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the development with regard to outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to vehicular access and parking provision
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The cumulative harm from loss of privacy, inadequate parking provision, and harm to character and appearance through the prominent balcony feature could not be outweighed by the acceptable outdoor amenity space provision.
