Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area with particular regard to the gantry, bicycle store and refuse and waste recycling bins
- the effect of the proposed gantry on the living conditions of occupiers of 40 Milford Gardens (No 40) with particular regard to privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in terms of internal living space
- whether the proposed development would promote sustainable transport with particular regard to whether it would provide adequate provision for cycle parking for future intended occupiers
- whether or not adequate arrangements are made to manage flood risk
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, future occupier amenity, sustainable transport provision, and undemonstrated flood risk outweighs the benefits of additional housing supply.
