Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 47 and 49 Western Avenue, with regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with regard to the adequacy of parking provision
What decided it
