Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 164 and 168 Percy Avenue with particular regard to privacy
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupier of 1 Kingsgate Court, 99 Kingsgate Avenue with regard to outlook

What decided it

The significant and enduring harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of privacy and outlook substantially outweighs the social benefits of the specialist accommodation, which could be provided through alternative means within the existing dwelling.

Applying Policy S4 of the Framework, the social benefits of granting planning permission for the proposal would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions and the development plan conflict.
