Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers of properties on Kennedy Avenue, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The restriction of occupancy to one child, combined with the retention of the property's residential character and the limited increase in activity compared to a family dwelling, means the proposal would not cause material harm to the character, appearance, or living conditions of neighbouring residents.
