- Inspector
- Housden C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for the occupiers of 2 Priory Gardens (No 2), with particular regard to the provision of internal floor space, the size of the external garden space and whether it would have adequate outlook and access to sunlight
- the effect of the appeal proposal on highway safety, with specific regard to the provision of parking
What decided it
The proposal would harm the living conditions of occupiers of No 2 through overshadowing and oppressive outlook to the garden area, conflicting with development plan policies requiring adequate amenity space and preventing material harm.
Plan policies cited: Policy M1, Policy M2, Policy M9, Policy M15, Policy M16
