Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character of the local area
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to privacy, outlook, fear of crime and the potential for anti-social behaviour
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupiers with reference to private garden space, potential noise and general disturbance, privacy and outlook
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to access and vehicle parking
What decided it
The cumulative effect of significant harm to local character, inadequate living conditions for both future and existing occupiers, and unresolved highway safety concerns meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh these harms.
