Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of 61 and 63 Le Marchant Road with respect to privacy and outlook and on future occupiers in regard to privacy and access to daylight and sunlight
- Whether the proposed dwelling would affect the integrity of the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (TBHSPA)
What decided it
The identified harm to character and appearance and living conditions, even when substantial weight was attached to housing benefits in the absence of a five-year supply, was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified harm when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of housing delivery and use of previously developed land were substantially weighted, but the combined benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified harm to character and appearance and living conditions when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
