Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 51 Park Lane with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed bungalow's positioning with the parking area located further from the neighbouring property and shielded by the building itself, combined with the infrequent vehicular movements expected from a two-bedroomed dwelling, would not result in unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers.
