3.        REPORT ON APPEAL DECISIONS

           (a)       TCP/2430                       C Meagher/S Rose, against refusal for continued use of premises as flat on ground floor and house in multiple occupation on first and second floors; retention of storage shed at 50 Carter Avenue, Shanklin.

           Officer Recommendation:       Approval

           Committee Decision:               Refusal - 16 October 2001.

           Appeal Decision:                      Allowed - 22 March 2002.

Main issues of the case as identified by the Inspector:

           ∙          The effect of the proposals on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers with particular reference to visual impact, privacy, noise and disturbance.

           ∙          The effect on highway safety and free flow of traffic on Carter Avenue.

Conclusions of the Inspector:

           ∙          Shed will have the appearance of a double garage and will not have a materially adverse visual impact when viewed from no. 48.

           ∙          The external appearance of the dwelling has not changed.

           ∙          The use of rooms on first and second floors would not materially increase the overlooking of adjoining premises.

           ∙          Noise and disturbance from use of upstairs rooms would be no greater impact than if premises were in single family occupation.

           ∙          The use of the shed will be consistent with its location within a rear domestic garden.

           ∙          Substantial on-street parking is available in vicinity and would be sufficient to meet any additional parking needs.

           (b)       TCP/24292                     Mr S Darch, against refusal of outline for dwelling and garage on land rear of Taverners and 2 Church Road, Havenstreet.

           Officer Recommendation:       Refusal.

           Committee Decision:               Refusal (Part 1) - 3 September 2001.

           Appeal Decision:                      Dismissed - 22 March 2002.

           Main issues of the case as identified by the Inspector:

           ∙          The impact of the proposal on the form and setting of the settlement of Havenstreet and the surrounding rural area having regards to policies and provisions of the UDP.

           ∙          The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of adjoining occupiers with particular reference to privacy, noise and disturbance.

Conclusions of the Inspector:

           ∙          Development of this site would extend Havenstreet into the surrounding rural fringe and would be contrary to UDP policies and PPG7.

           ∙          The erection of a dwelling on this site would inevitably have some impact in terms of privacy of occupiers of adjoining properties.

           ∙          The proposal would effectively double the vehicular and pedestrian use of Ivy House and would materially increase the noise and disturbance which would be detrimental to the living conditions of adjoining residents.
