Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the existing building and the surrounding area
  • the impact of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of no. 15 Tudor Avenue with particular regard to outlook and overlooking

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area through its bulky and dominant gable feature, and would harmfully increase the sense of overlooking to the neighbouring property at no. 15 Tudor Avenue.

Framework references: 130

Plan policies cited: Policy 28, Policy 29, Policies 7.4 and 7.6 of The London Plan 2016
