Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to disturbance
- parking provision and highway safety
- the integrity and relevant features of the Durham Coast Special Area of Conservation, the Northumbria Coast Special Protection Area, and the Northumbria Coast Ramsar Site
What decided it
The site's location within a mixed-use area rather than predominantly single-family housing, combined with the modest intensity increase compared to the previous two-flat use and the absence of unacceptable impacts on parking, highway safety or European protected sites, justified allowing the appeal.
