The proposed development of the erection of a building to provide 14 additional flats along with new access has been dismissed.
The main issues are:
– the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the Bedford Conservation Area and the setting of nearby listed buildings,
– the effect on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers with particular regard to outlook,
– whether adequate provision would be made for the sustainable disposal of surface water, and
– the effect of the proposal on trees.
