- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the parking of vehicles
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan by reducing family housing stock in an area requiring such provision and by creating unacceptable highway safety impacts through loss of off-street parking and increased on-street parking demand.
