Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of nearby residents with regard to overlooking and outlook
  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal upon trees
  • the effect of the proposal upon highway safety
  • whether the Unilateral Undertaking and the obligations therein are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development and are fairly related in scale and kind

What decided it

The proposal accords with the development plan and the material considerations do not indicate that a decision should be made other than in accordance with it.

Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy D2, Policy EN3, Policy EN4, Policy EN1, Policy IF1, Policy IF4, Policy IF7, Policy H4, Policy INF1, Policy H6, Policy EN5
