Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent ground floor flat in relation to outlook and daylight
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 2 Pembury Road in relation to noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed apartment would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupiers in relation to outlook, daylight and floorspace
What decided it
The proposal would significantly harm the living conditions of occupiers of the adjacent flat and No 2 Pembury Road through loss of outlook and noise disturbance, and would provide unacceptable living conditions for the new apartment's occupiers due to restricted outlook and substandard floorspace.
