Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the scheme should make a contribution towards the provision of affordable housing
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 112-116 Amyand Park Road and 13 Greville Close, with particular regard to overlooking and outlook
- Whether occupiers would experience satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to ceiling heights and outdoor space provision
- Whether the loss of existing housing has been sufficiently justified
- The effect of the proposal on biodiversity
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area, bearing in mind the setting of the Amyand Park Road Conservation Area and nearby Buildings of Townscape Merit
What decided it
The proposal would fail to contribute towards affordable housing, would result in harmful overlooking of neighbouring properties, would not provide adequate living conditions for occupiers through substandard ceiling heights and outdoor space, would result in unjustified loss of housing, and would have an adverse effect on biodiversity.
The contribution towards housing provision did not outweigh the identified harms in respect of affordable housing provision, neighbouring amenity, future occupier living conditions, loss of housing, and biodiversity.
