39A Wellow Tyning, Peasedown St John, Bath, Somerset, BA2 8LJ

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of No 39A Wellow Tyning, having particular regard to outlook and light
• whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to the provision of internal and outdoor space
• whether the proposal would meet sustainability and carbon reduction requirements
• the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
• the effect of the proposal on highway safety
• whether the development would encourage future occupiers to use a range of transport modes, with particular regard to the provision of cycle storage facilities

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with development plan policies requiring appropriate amenity levels for both existing and future occupiers, and fails to meet sustainability requirements, with the minor benefits being insufficient to outweigh this identified harm.
