Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the demolition of an existing community facility
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with regard to space standards, daylight, outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 1 Shackleton Road with particular reference to privacy, outlook and sunlight
- whether the proposal would satisfy the housing needs for the area
- whether the proposal would affect highway safety
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, loss of community facility, living conditions of future occupants and neighbours, housing need, and highway safety—with no material considerations outweighing the identified harm.
