Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 6 Streatham Vale with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with no material considerations sufficient to overcome the conflict with the development plan.
The limited economic benefits of additional commercial floorspace and employment opportunities were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions.
