Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Numbers 52 and 52a Mawney Road with specific regard to outlook
  • The character and appearance of the area
  • Whether it would provide adequate biodiversity net gain

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact and would harm the character and appearance of the area, with the additional failure to provide adequate biodiversity information rendering the scheme non-compliant with statutory requirements.
