Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 2 and 6 Brookdale Park with reference to outlook, light and privacy
  • whether the proposed development makes suitable provision for the parking of vehicles

What decided it

The adverse effect on the character and appearance of the cul-de-sac combined with the harmful impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 2 Brookdale Park, particularly regarding overbearing effect, loss of daylight and privacy, resulted in clear conflict with the development plan.

Plan policies cited: DE1, DE5, DE3, TA2, TA3, BH5, BH6
