Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 54 and 56 Oswald Close, with regard to outlook
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to outdoor space
  • whether the proposed development would satisfy the requirements of the statutory framework for biodiversity net gain

What decided it
