Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal proposal would achieve a well-designed development in terms of local context, movement and safety
- the effect of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at 9a Victoria Road with regard to outlook and sense of enclosure
- the effect of the appeal proposal on trees and green infrastructure
- the effect of the appeal proposal on air quality
What decided it
The appeal proposal would not achieve a well-designed development in terms of local context, movement and safety, creating considerable adverse impacts that conflict with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by other material considerations.
The modest housing and economic benefits of seven new residential units were outweighed by the considerable adverse impacts arising from poor design and unsafe pedestrian access arrangements.
