Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would appear sufficiently out of keeping with the pattern of development due to its narrow width, disrupting the existing roofscape and diminishing the spacious character of the area, causing significant harm that outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits.
The modest benefits of providing a single dwelling and windfall housing were outweighed by the significant and substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area.
Plan policies cited: Policy SP4.1, Policy DM10, Policy D3 of the London Plan
