Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of: a) the proposed ground floor flat with particular regard to outlook, privacy and light; b) the proposed second floor flat with particular regard to the provision of adequate internal living accommodation; and c) the proposed development with particular regard to the provision of external amenity space
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook
- The effect of the development on highway safety with regard to the provision of car parking
- Whether the proposed development makes an adequate contribution to urban greening
- Whether the proposed development would include appropriate measures for fire safety
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area including the setting of nearby grade II listed park and garden
What decided it
The cumulative weight of conflicts with the development plan regarding inadequate internal living accommodation, external amenity space provision, adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions, displaced car parking, and failure to meet urban greening requirements outweighed the limited benefit of providing three additional residential units.
