Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupants of the proposed flats, with particular regard to the layout of the accommodation and the potential for noise and disturbance
  • Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupants of the proposed front maisonette flat, with particular regard to their internal space
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring property No. 42 Ash Grove, with particular regard to the levels of noise, disturbance and activity which would arise from it

What decided it

The development fails to provide acceptable living conditions for occupants of the proposed flats due to poor internal layout creating noise disturbance risks and the front maisonette falling below minimum space standards required by Policy H9, conflicts with the development plan that are not outweighed by material considerations.

Plan policies cited: Policy H6, Policy H9, Policy P10, Policy GP5
