Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to a) internal living space, b) noise, disturbance and odour and c) outlook
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for existing occupiers of Studio 1, with particular regard to outlook; and 55A Station Road, with particular regard to outlook & a sense of enclosure
What decided it
The proposed development would cause harm to character and appearance, fail to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to substandard internal space and unmitigated noise and odour impacts, and harm the living conditions of existing occupants.
