Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties in Palmerston Road, with particular regard to privacy, natural light and outlook
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to access to natural light and external space provision
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate cycle storage
  • the effect of the proposal on parking stress in the area

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptable effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in Palmerston Road through overlooking, loss of outlook and natural light, combined with unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to lack of private amenity space and limited outlook.
