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.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy DM D2, Policy CS20
