Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 60 Willoughby Lane with particular regard to outlook
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with particular regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The unacceptable living conditions for future occupants, particularly the poor and unacceptable outlook from the principal habitable rooms, combined with the harm to character and appearance, outweighed the benefits of housing provision.

The benefits of housing provision of significant weight and redevelopment of an underused site did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants.
