Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No. 24 Whitebarn Lane, with particular regard to outlook, noise and overshadowing

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise, loss of outlook and sense of enclosure, and would harm the character and appearance of the commercial parade, together failing to represent sustainable development.
