Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to privacy, outlook, light and noise
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 192 Wellingborough Road, with particular regard to privacy, outlook and light
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to the very close relationship with No 192 resulting in direct overlooking, overbearing effects, overshadowing, and inadequate parking provision that would create highway safety concerns.
