Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed dwelling upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect on the living conditions for existing occupiers of 9 and 11 Turret Grove with regard to outlook
  • the effect on living conditions for existing occupiers on Rozel Road and Turret Grove with regard to noise
  • whether the future occupiers would likely experience acceptable living conditions within the first floor with regard to outlook and sunlight

What decided it

The material harm to character and appearance of the surrounding area, combined with harm to the outlook of existing occupiers at No. 11 Turret Grove and unmitigated noise concerns, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations indicating otherwise.
