Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to layout, privacy, outlook and light
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at No 36 and No 40 District Road with regard to light and outlook
- whether the proposal would secure adequate cycle parking spaces and provide sufficient soft landscaping
- whether the proposed development would result in the loss of a family sized home
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, living conditions of future occupants, neighbouring amenity, cycle parking provision, and highway safety—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
