Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the single dwelling house provides acceptable living conditions for its existing and future occupiers
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with regards to noise, disturbance and privacy
What decided it
A condition restricting occupation of the building to purposes ancillary to 1B Angles Road (rather than as an independent dwelling) removed the identified harms to living conditions and, with landscaping conditions, brought the scheme into compliance with the development plan.
The harms arising from use of the building as an independent single dwelling house (to character and appearance, internal space standards, and neighbouring amenity) were overcome by imposing conditions restricting its occupation to ancillary use and requiring landscaping and drainage schemes, tipping the balance in favour of granting permission.
