Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of flat 2, by way of privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate cycle storage
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species
- whether the proposed development would provide biodiversity net gain (BNG)
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 52 and 56 Woodcote Grove Road, with regard to outlook and privacy
- whether the proposed access and parking arrangements would ensure highway safety
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate refuse storage
What decided it
The scheme would result in unacceptable harm to character and appearance, fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of flat 2 by way of privacy, fail to provide adequate cycle storage, and insufficient information was provided to rule out harm to protected species and demonstrate mandatory biodiversity net gain.
