Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance, and parking provision
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to outlook, natural light, privacy, noise and disturbance, provision of internal communal space and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would have unacceptable adverse effects on both neighbouring occupiers' living conditions (through noise, disturbance and parking stress) and future occupiers' living conditions (through poor outlook, natural light, privacy and inadequate outdoor amenity space), contrary to the development plan policies requiring acceptable impacts on amenity and quality of life.
Plan policies cited: Policy CP7, Policy CP10, Policy CP17, Policy JP-P1
