Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 51E Station Road with regards to outlook
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to the provision of internal space
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory parking arrangements and the effect on highway safety

What decided it

The failure to secure a planning obligation restricting residential parking permits combined with the harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers at No 51E meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
