Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of proposed Bedroom 7, with particular regard to outlook and the provision of internal space

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptable effect on highway safety due to lack of off-street parking combined with significantly increased vehicular movements and parking demand, and would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of Bedroom 7 due to limited usable floorspace and poor outlook.
