Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether acceptable living conditions are provided for occupiers of the development, having particular regard to external space, cycle and refuse storage, outlook, light, privacy and noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of 26 Carlyle Road, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, outlook and privacy

What decided it

The modest scale and intermittent nature of cycle storage use, combined with physical separation from neighbouring properties and the ability to control final design details by condition, meant the development would not cause material harm to living conditions of occupiers of the development or neighbours.
