Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on protected species
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 1 and 5 Bramley Road with particular regard to daylight, sunlight and privacy
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The absence of an ecological survey to rule out potential harm to protected species (bats) and the harmful overlooking impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at no 5 Bramley Road rendered the proposal unacceptable.
