Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 13-17 South Park Road, with particular regard to outlook
- whether the proposed development would comply with relevant development plan policies in respect of parking and permit-free development
What decided it
The proposed building's sloping roof design and the presence of other tall buildings in the locality meant the development would not have an unduly deleterious effect on views from neighbouring properties, combined with the site's excellent public transport accessibility making permit-free development acceptable.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM D2Policy CS20
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
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.
