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 existing housing accommodation
- Whether the proposal makes appropriate provision for permit-free development
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbours
What decided it
The absence of legal agreements to secure studio flat conversion in perpetuity, permit-free parking, and simultaneous construction of both rear extensions meant the proposal failed to address three fundamental policy requirements and would cause unacceptable harm to neighbours' living conditions.
