Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
- The effect on highway safety and movements for users of Goodhall Close
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers with particular regard to external amenity space
What decided it
The absence of external visual changes to the front elevation and the ability to subdivide the rear garden into satisfactory private outdoor amenity spaces for both flats, combined with the lack of evidence that modest additional on-street parking demand would significantly worsen highway safety, allowed the appeal to proceed in accordance with the development plan.
