Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and building
- the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, particularly nos 25 & 26 Haysoms Close in respect of privacy, daylight and outlook
- the transport and highways impacts of the development
What decided it
The proposal failed to satisfy condition A.2(1)(a) of the GPDO because no completed legal agreement was provided to prevent future occupiers from obtaining parking permits, leaving transport and highways impacts uncontrolled.
