Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including with regard to trees
- The quality of living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to outlook, light, outdoor space, cycle and bin storage
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to any overbearing effect to 15, 17 and 19 South Park Hill Road, privacy to 28 and 30 Birdhurst Road and the effect on the outdoor space to 17 South Park Hill Road
- Whether the proposed development would support sustainable transport modes
What decided it
The proposed development would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area through its dominant bulk and massing in the back garden setting, and would result in inadequate living conditions for future occupiers due to restricted light and outlook, with these significant harms outweighing the moderate benefits of housing provision.
