Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether satisfactory living conditions are provided and the loss of a single family dwelling is justified
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbours with particular regard to noise, disturbance and privacy
  • The provision of cycle parking
  • Fire safety

What decided it

The proposal fails to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants and would result in unacceptable harm to character and appearance and neighbouring amenity, contrary to multiple development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy BH7, Policy BH11, Policy D4, Policy D6, Policy D12a, Policy DMP1, Policy T5, Policy BT1, Policy BT2
