Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the provision of family dwellings in the area
  • Whether appropriate living conditions have been secured for the occupiers of the development, with particular regard to internal floor space, outlook and the provision of external amenity space
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The development conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole on multiple grounds (loss of family dwelling, inadequate living conditions for occupiers, increased noise and disturbance to neighbours, and insufficient parking provision), with no material considerations to outweigh these breaches.
