Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook, noise and disturbance
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the existing property at No. 2 Elmhirst Road and the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with particular regard to outlook, outdoor private amenity space and noise
What decided it
The proposed development would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and would create poor quality living conditions for both neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers due to loss of outlook and substandard private amenity space.
