Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the flats in 189 Newport Road, with particular regard to outlook and loss of light to properties and the external garden area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the properties, with particular regard to external space and light to habitable rooms
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking
What decided it
The high risk of adverse effects on protected trees, combined with unacceptable harm to the external living conditions of neighbouring properties and inadequate daylight and sunlight for future occupants, outweighed the benefit of redeveloping an under-utilised site.
