Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to noise
  • whether future occupiers of the proposed development would experience acceptable living conditions, with particular regard to internal communal space
  • the effect of the proposed development on the parking conditions in the area and consequently on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development would not cause significant harm to character, appearance, neighbouring living conditions, or highway safety, and would provide adequate accommodation for future occupiers, thereby according with the relevant development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy H11, Policy SP1, Policy DM1, Policy T2, saved Policy DC26
