Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hampton Village Conservation Area
- its effect on the living conditions of the existing occupiers of No 8 Isabel Hill Close, with regard to outlook and daylight
- its effect on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to internal floor area, layout, privacy and natural ventilation
- whether it would make provision for affordable housing
- whether it would make provision for car parking
- whether it would make adequate provision for storage of refuse and recycling
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area, the Building of Townscape Merit, and protected trees, combined with significant harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers and failure to provide affordable housing and parking, outweighed the modest housing benefit.
The substantial harms to the conservation area, living conditions of existing and future occupiers, and failure to provide affordable housing and parking were weighed against the modest contribution to housing delivery; the harms were not outweighed by the benefits.
