Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether or not adequate living conditions would be created for future occupants of the proposed development, with reference to noise
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with regard to parking

What decided it

The proposed development's stepped building line would be discordant with the uniform building line of existing terrace properties, and the absence of a quantitative noise assessment meant adequate living conditions for future occupants could not be assured.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CSP1 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy, 2009
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 135Paragraph 198
