Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on an existing community facility
- the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to internal living space
- the living conditions of 1 Shackleton Road with regard to outlook
- highway safety
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—loss of a valued community facility without justification, harm to character and appearance, inadequate internal space standards for residential units, overbearing impact on neighbouring outlook, and highway safety concerns—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
