Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the reasonable enjoyment of the homes of nearby occupiers at 24 and 26 Hope Road
What decided it
The proposal would significantly undermine the reasonable enjoyment of homes at 24 and 26 Hope Road through loss of amenity space and alteration of outlook, with a disproportionate impact on residents with protected characteristics, which outweighs the private parking benefits to the appellants.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy L7.3 of the Trafford Core Strategy
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
