Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 91 Woodcote Valley Road with particular reference to outlook, sunlight and potential for noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposed development on trees
- Effect on ecology, specifically on bats
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for any additional improvements to sustainable transport options and is there suitable parking provision
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable access to car parking and waste storage
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds including harmful character and appearance impacts, inadequate tree protection, unacceptable ecology risk to bats, insufficient sustainable transport contributions, and lack of accessible waste storage, with no material considerations outweighing these harms.
