Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to refuse and cycle storage
- whether or not the development would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for its future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, privacy and light to bedrooms and communal areas
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed cycle storage would harmfully affect the character and appearance of the area by introducing an incongruous structure in a prominent location where similar development is absent, and the development would not provide satisfactory privacy standards for future occupants of rooms 02 and 03.
