Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, and parking pressures
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future residents
What decided it
The detached layout of the property with centrally-sited entrance and the sustainable location with good public transport access meant the increased number of residents would not result in material harm to neighbouring amenity or fail to provide satisfactory conditions for future occupiers.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy B2 of the Eastbourne Core Strategy 2013Policy HO20 of the Eastbourne Borough Plan
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
