Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants having particular regard to the provision of outdoor amenity space
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring property at 16 Abbott Crescent having particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would provide inadequate outdoor amenity space for future occupants, with a garden depth significantly below the 13 metres guidance in the RENDSID, contrary to policies requiring attention to quality of development and private space provision.
Plan policies cited: Policy 2S, Policy 28S, Policy 29, Policy 30, Policy 32, Design Code N1, Design Code N3, Design Code N5
