Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 137 High Street and 4 North Street, with specific regard to outlook and sunlight
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the proposal, with regard to outlook and noise
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through loss of outlook and overbearing impact, contrary to Policy 7 of the Local Plan, which outweighs the benefit of providing an additional residential unit.
