Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the future occupiers, with regard to noise/vibration, outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 6 Whitby Road, with regard to outlook, daylight/sunlight and privacy
- whether adequate bin storage would be provided
- whether adequate cycle storage would be provided
- whether flood risk and drainage have been adequately assessed
What decided it
The proposal's excessive scale, massing and depth would unduly harm the character and appearance of the area and create unacceptable living conditions for both future and neighbouring occupiers, compounded by inadequate bin and cycle storage provision and unassessed flood risk.
