Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the effect of the development upon living conditions of adjoining users
What decided it
The proposed building would not harm the character and appearance of the area nor unacceptably affect the living conditions of adjoining occupiers, particularly No.13 Chapel Street, and would potentially improve the visual amenity through replacement of the existing untidy boundary treatment.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP3
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
