Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its future occupants, with regard to outlook, privacy and private amenity space provision
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing residential occupiers with regard to outlook and privacy
- whether the absence of a legal agreement to restrict the future occupiers from applying for parking permits and to ensure the provision of cycle hire membership and car club membership would lead to an unacceptable increase in travel by private vehicles or discourage the use of sustainable travel modes
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory cycle parking provision
- whether the proposed development would prejudice the future redevelopment of a neighbouring site
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, living conditions of both future and existing occupiers, and the absence of a legal mechanism to control parking demand and promote sustainable travel modes outweighed the limited benefits of providing five additional residential units.
