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 the occupiers of 63 and 65 Station Road, with particular regard to privacy impacts
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 67 Station Road, with particular regard to outdoor living space
- Whether the proposal provides adequate evidence in respect of Fire Safety
What decided it
The material harm to the character and appearance of the area through incongruous rear-land development conflicting with the established perimeter building layout, combined with unmitigated privacy impacts on neighbouring properties and insufficient fire safety evidence, outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.
