Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to privacy, odours, outdoor amenity space, and noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development on the character of the area, with regard to the mix and balance of housing
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with regard to car parking, and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unacceptable lack of privacy for the occupier of proposed Bedroom 2 due to the window's relationship to the communal external door and rear yard area, which could not be adequately remedied by conditions.
