Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the Blenheim Gardens/Onslow Gardens Area of Special Local Character
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Nos. 4, 6 and 8 Onslow Gardens, with particular regard to privacy
- Whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory reduction in carbon emissions, sustainable drainage measures and water efficiency measures
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Area of Special Local Character and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants in terms of privacy, combined with failure to demonstrate satisfactory environmental standards, outweighed the limited benefits of one additional dwelling.
The significant harms to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions were not outweighed by the limited benefits in relation to housing supply and economic activity
