Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would provide adequate and satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the ground floor flat at No 12 Kathleen Avenue, with particular regard to the use of the side / rear garden

What decided it

The adverse impacts of granting permission—significant harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and neighbours, and conflict with Framework design policies—would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the very limited housing benefits of a single dwelling or two maisonettes.

The modest housing benefits of one dwelling or two maisonettes were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance, inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and neighbours, and conflicts with Framework policies on good design and efficient land use; the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
