In April 2024, we successfully appealed against the refusal of a conversion of a garage to a bedroom in North Tyneside. We submitted a Statement of Case which successfully refuted the two reasons for refusal. These reasons were the impact on residential amenity, character and appearance and highways safety. We also submitted a parking survey to substantiate our assessment that the proposed conversion would not cause a highways safety issue.
The Inspector came to the view that there was no substantive evidence to suggest the current arrangement is causing harm to highways safety or the living conditions of occupiers in the area. The appeal was allowed and we have a very content client.
