Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area (including by alterations to the frontage) and on the amenity of nearby residents (whether amenity would be harmed by undue noise and disturbance)
- Whether the scheme would provide satisfactory living conditions for occupiers of the proposed new residential accommodation, by the provision of adequate internal and external living space
- The adequacy of car parking and cycle storage provision in connection with the project
What decided it
The lack of adequate car parking provision (only two spaces available against a requirement for three) combined with the over-intensification of use causing undue disturbance to neighbours and erosion of the character of the surrounding Area of Special Local Character.
