Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide its occupants with acceptable living conditions, with regard to outlook, daylight, the provision of private amenity space, and noise
- the effect of the development on the longevity of the public house with particular regard to the Agent of Change principle
- whether the development would provide opportunity for sustainable modes of travel, with particular regard to the provision for cycle parking
- whether the development would make reasonable provision for refuse storage
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of 13-15 Swakeleys Road, with regard to daylight and sunlight
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, and whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ickenham Village Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants in respect to outlook, daylight, private amenity space and noise, and would harm the longevity of the public house through increased risk of noise complaints, bringing it into conflict with the development plan.
